    Just cocks no hens. Is hubbys car safe?

    So, I have two year old peacocks, both Males. I love them. They are free range on our property here in East Sussex, UK. We are surrounded by really tall oak, ash and lime trees and they roost up in these at night and fly up into them if they get spooked by the dogs etc. They come down during...

    Flock slowly being wiped out - possibly mareks??

    Hi all, I would welcome some advice, this is actually about my friends flock but as the main supplier of her birds, I feel somewhat responsible. My firend Rudi had an already established flock of 8 birds but these were reduced down to 1 after a fox attack last spring. I bought six new hens...

    Sexing eggs!

    This is just for fun. I am on my third incubation this spring. I have had a time of it as this is the first year that I am hatching with an incubator. My first hatch gave me only 1 out of 17 eggs. That was a tough pill to swallow as it hit my arrogance hard; I believed that if a chicken...

    This is my first hatch, I have 6 Jersey giant eggs, 6 bantams and 5 runner duck eggs. (They arent all for me, my friend and I have gone halves on the incubator and we are in this together.)
