    What do you make of the Gigi Jordan case

    I have been looking at the news after watching the excuses she made about killing her son. She claims that he wanted to die, that she couldn't protect him from a father who had no rights to his child. A child she claimed had not been abused for two years. She said she had refused a plea deal...

    I am developing skills I never had due to bad workmen

    I have found that I can do things I had never thought I could do, while that has been satisfying I am still really angry that it was necessary! To explain I had a new bathroom partially fitted, I say partially done as the man didn't do the last bit. I found that the toilet was leaking so I got...

    Does anyone get this from their hens????????????????

    I noticed something the head hen does when I clean and change the bedding in the main and side coop. When I am putting in the bedding for the nesting boxes she watches, when she is satisfied their is enough bedding she clucks and moves on to the next box until all the boxes are filled to her...

    Alfie british blue boy

    I told you that I was having trouble integrating a 12 year old cat. That was over a year ago. I took him to the vet as he was loosing weight. While he was there he had a massive heart attack and died. So my big blue boy has gone.

    An idea I want to see what you all think of it

    I have two chicken coops in my garden out in the middle of the garden. I am wanting to replace both of these with a single shed with shelving in it so they can sleep on it. I had a bad case of red mite and until I got rid of it (I painted the shed inside and out white with diatmanous earth)...

    Cooked wheat and oats

    Where I work we make breakfast cereals with either oats or wheat. The wheat is cooked so the grains are soft and can be squashed not like raw wheat. How do you think this would go as an occasional chicken treat?

    Considering a change

    I have a coop and run. I am thinking of taking it to pieces using the nesting boxes and perches and door of the coop using them to convert a 6 * 4 shed into a coop and putting the run on the front of it, that way the best bits of the run will still be used and the girls will have much more room...

    Nest box

    Now having seen here that its not a good idea to let hens sleep in the nest box I have been making sure they don't. As a rule they have stopped trying except for one hen. Now she doesn't actually sleep in the box just next to it with her tail feathers in the box as if to say well that is what...

    Hen hiding in corner of garden

    I put the girls to bed last night as usual, well they went to bed and I shut the door to the chicken run. I was standing to the left of the coop and heard the usual chatter from the coop, they always seem to have a 10 minute session of chat before going to sleep. When I heard the same noise to...

    Cream legbar hen

    I have 6 legbar hens 4 I got in March. These ones have a pair of mischief makers. One has managed to get so scared by a thunder storm she got over the fence and I had to get one very wet hen back home. The other I had thought had either got out or been taken by an flying raptor (there are red...

    Something really weird happened the other day

    I hav a buff orpington who is broody, I took her out of the nesting box and put her on the ground. She saw one of my cream legbar youngsters and had a real go at her. Before I got to her to stop it the head hen rushed in gave a few well placed pecks and chased her off. This is where it got...
