Thanks. I will stick with it.

Hi All, I have one of my girls who has been showing signs of broodiness on and off for a few weeks. She started to get really bad, hissing and pecking me if I ventured near the nest boxes. I decided to put her in a broody box, simply because she wasn't allowing the other chooks to enter the...

Great info. thanks. Tx

Beautiful chooks. Tx

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me so quick. Being a newb this is what I am not sure about. One of my girls does tend to sit on the egg she has laid for a long while and if I happen to look in to check if there are any eggs she gets quite annoyed and fluffs all her feathers! I have had to get her...

Hi All, I am out all day tomorrow from quite early until early evening. Will it be OK to leave collecting the eggs? My girls have only been laying a few weeks, so they, and me are newbs! I am worried it may encourage them to sit on them. Trish x

Hi everyone, Does anyone know how much the 'point of lay' can vary? I have three chooks at the mo, starting small! Two have been laying for over two weeks, one is a Light Sussex and the other is a hybrid - Copper Black. My other girl is also a hybrid - bluebell. She has laid a couple of times...

Hi, I only joined BYC recently, and I asked about one of my new chooks, a Bluebell Hybrid being very noisy now that she had started laying. We was doing the weekly big clean and noticed that Frou (our Bluebell) was very quiet (not normal for her!) and her tail feathers are down. Should I be...

Hello all, Thanks for all your responses and thanks for welcoming me to BYC. I love it, and it is great to be able to get some help and advice from people that know. I feel much more at ease now. I can't help keeping a check on them - my hubby and son think I am bordering on obsessive! I...

HI, Thanks for getting back to me. Oh bless her. That is a relief. Up until now they had only made small noises here and there. So you can imagine how I thought something was wrong when I heard all the ruckus this morning. Trish x

Hi, My name is Trish and I am new to keeping chooks. I got my first three girls about a month ago. I have a light sussex and two hybrids, one bluebell and one copper black. One has been laying for about a week and the other two started yesterday, which I am really chuffed with as they are...
