    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Nothing to clap for imho. Or…. Are you going to change the ordinances for keeping roosters all over the world Shad? In all EU 🇪🇺 countries it is not allowed to post/ship chicks. Only allowed to pick up or with personal delivery. @C Siena If you search for people who sell hatchery eggs or...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Atm my husband and I are on a vacation near the Alps, a bit to the south of France. We are staying on a farm-campsite with : about 10 free ranging chickens. 💚 and a bunch of caged rabbits. By the looks of it they keep them for food. 😢 The landscape is amazing here. Especially near sunset.

And if you...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    I always thought they do have bowel contol, bc they dont poop while walking. They very much ‘sit’ before pooping 💩 . A pose like standing on a french toilet. Im happy with my bunch living outside except with the fact that they often poop on the terrace when they are set free. 😝 Would be great...

    Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

    MDH and I have been following a crime series of Shetland lately. I presume the Orkney landscapes are a bit similar. Is that true? Anyway Shetland is beautiful in its own way. I bet Orkney is too. Found a solution without installing an app: screenshot. :) This is how the chickens look like...

    Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

    Yes. Don’t be sorry. I enjoy your photos. Viewing photos is okay. I love it here. I just don’t want to upload 5 Mb photos from my camera. This photo, our tent on the campsite, is made by mdh, it went through whatsapp and is only 1Mb. Unfortunately you can barely see the chickens and the alps.

    What did you do with your flock today?

    If your husband only has a bad feeling with the commercial hybrids you could try something completely different?. Buy a few bizar looking chickens and don’t tell your husband these are chickens 🤭 These are not chickens: they have 5 toes, a black skin and sleep in nestboxes.

    Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

    Great photos and explanation! 😍 Fyi I am on a vacation in France and don’t have free WiFi. Therefore Im sparse with uploading photos. Camping a la ferme with a view on the French Alps and free ranging chickens (plain commercial hybrids) 🤩💚.

    @Perris , read this. ^^ These Shetland chickens seem to be a perfect match for you if you want potty trained chickens with more brains. 😍

    Topic of the Week - Chicken Behaviour and Flock Dynamics Part 2 - Bullying Behaviour

    Intolerant behaviour at roost time happens more often. Can you add another roost and some-kind of a divider so some of the chickens don’t see each other? This might help. Or add another coop? I had a young hen that had been harassed at roost time. She started to sleep alone in a tiny coop away...

    Topic of the Week - Chicken Behaviour and Flock Dynamics Part 2 - Bullying Behaviour

    I live on another continent where we have less predators. Foxes, polecats and weasels are the only ones who live or come within cities. Normally they come in the night or early morning. I live on 500 m2 (1/8 acre) without a fence in a town/small city. It has a municipality area behind it with...

    ½ an acre to free range whole day and not being locked up is great! If your garden is predator safe, you only need to make some improvements to the coop and add more space for the little ones. More ventilation and more space before winter arrives.
