    Peeps in Europe!

    Well the good news is that the girls who were sick but survived have perked up and at least one has started laying again (possibly both, I'm not sure if the blue eggs are from her or one of the new girls). The new girls are also all laying (well at least 2 depending who is laying the blue eggs)...

    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    I felt very sad that somehow growing up in Cowra / Orange I'd missed learning this and never heard of it until I watched the video! Turns out I know the dance not the name 🤣🤣🤣

    Eek to all your experiences of various diseases. I'd really like your help. I've also been hit for the first time in nearly 10 years of keeping chickens on and off by some sort of illness and one of my girls died (Mabel, a maybe 16 month old sussex). She was bought a year ago as a ready to lay...

    How is everyone? Are you enjoying the lovely May weather? I'm hoping to get my new hens soon but just been so crazy with the garden, so much stuff to plant and not enough time! I've been put in a middle school (was teaching at profession high school) until the end of the year and I hate it very...

    Peeps in Europe!

    Probably to get out to free range. before the dog people moved here I free ranged them (our gardens aren't fully fenced) but now I can't because of them. I'm going to work on getting the garden fenced so they can have at least some free range time (i do let them out if I'm physically in the...

    bloody neighbors dog got my lavaynder marans this week so furious, second one in about 6 weeks. They aren't fenced which really pee's me off. I went and saw her and she is going to pay for some new ones so that is at least something. I'll have to be better at keeping on top of clipping thier...

    Peeps in Europe!

    Hi all! After a disturbingly (for first half of April) hot week or 2 it has turned again! I got out in the garden this morning before my shirt got too wet! The girls loved all the weeds / aphid covered kale etc! Honestly they look pretty good, particularly the bottom left and top right. You...

    Hi and welcome! @Zsuzzzs I have a Lavender Marans and had a Speckled sussex and a marans. The eggs or chicks are available here in France, but very much depends on the people you have around you (who lays pretty dark bless her) . Have you tried on your local online sales sites? That is where I...

    Road Side stands?

    France is really strict on stuff like this so would sadly be a no go here! You guys are lucky. However there is something I've seen here that may be another option than just a free for all stand. There are farms that sell things that have signs out saying 'Open Tues / Thurs / Sat 4-6 pm' or...

    Yep! It was 24c when I got home from work yesterday! However today is blowing a hooley and cold. Evenings are still cool, we are still lighting the wood burner! Back to around 18-20 from tomorrow and for the foreseeable. We've not had a frost in a couple of weeks, I'm guessing it's waiting to...

    Peeps in Europe!

    Oh your cats are adorable!!! Thanks for your real world thoughts on the situation. I think I'll give it a few days of leaving all the run and food area gates open at night to let Loki the Fierce Fluffball wander around and see if that helps. I haven't seen it again since I left it open 2 nights...

    Oh no, OK that's maybe not the best idea then! He isn't a very big cat and I wouldn't want him to get hurt!
