    My ISA Brown has turned into Terminator!!!

    Ok - I'm beginning to sense that this isn't going to be a short lived thing? How long do you reckon it will take before she gets the message? Although she is only a chook and I've realised that I shouldn't really be trying to reason with one at 5 in the morning!!! The only think I have is a...

    My ISA Brown has turned into Terminator!!!

    By the way, what do you class as house quarantine?? She certainly isn't going to be sitting on the sofa with us sharing a glass of wine and watching Eastenders!!! Seriously, what is it? Shirls

    My ISA Brown has turned into Terminator!!!

    I had 2 ISA Browns, one unfortunately broke her leg high up and it was an extortionate amount to get it fixed, much as I wanted to (we're taking £100s of pounds!!) So reluctantly I had her put to sleep. Being a kind sole I got my other ISA a friend, a lovely Speckeldy who is about the same...

    Two Chooks - One Died!! Advice

    Well guys, if this morning was anything to go by I could of made a huge mistake!!!! 5.30 and the peace of the neighbourhood was shattered when Gertie decided she wanted everyone to know she was awake!! This is the only real bug bear that I have with the chooks - I know that they make a noise...

    Two Chooks - One Died!! Advice

    Hi I had two nearly 1 year old ISA Browns until yesterday. Then one decided to make a break for freedom, literally I didn't see her do it but found her in the garden. I didn't know what she had done, other than she couldn't stand on one of her legs, I even thought that she had a stroke by the...

    Free range or not free range, that is the question!!

    Big George Thanks for that - just feel a little mean having given them the taste of freedom and then trying to take it away from them!! How big is your run and are they happy now?

    Free range or not free range, that is the question!!

    I had a feeling that it was one or the other - grass or no grass!!! Will have to come up with a cunning plan!! On the question of the run - how big would it have to be to house the girls all day without upsetting them? Shirls

    Free range or not free range, that is the question!!

    I have 2 ISA browns that I acquired in September last year. Up until now I have given them free run of the garden, albeit not massive, but I am now wondering whether this was such a wise move??!! Everything they can eat, they have eaten. Everything they can scratch, they have scratched. And...

    Automatic door closer

    Guys thanks for that!!! Guess my weekends will be taken up with trying to make it work - although me and mine don't have a particularly handy bone in our bodies, thankfully my brother does, so with a little persuasion (or possibly bribery!?!) it might happen. Thanks again.

    Automatic door closer

    Forgive me, I have already posted on the end of somebody elses post but have now thought that it might not be the best place to put it!!! I am new to chickens and have a hen house that has what I can only describe as a large key looking thing that pulls the door to the roost open and closed. I...

    Installed a automatic chicken door

    I have a hen house that has what I can only describe as a large key that pulls the door to the roosting part open and closed. I've been reading these posts about automatic door openers and all I can say is I want one!!! However, to me it looks as though it will only work with a door that...

    Sour Croop?

    Thanks guys for your help. You will be pleased to hear that I haven't hung the poor girl upside down again and she seems to be doing well. Gave her bread soaked in olive oil which she hated and then probiotic yogurt - which she loved and which I ended up wearing!!! Hopefully won't panic so...

    Sour Croop?

    Hi I'm new to this chicken thing - 3 weeks to be exact - but I could get hooked!!! Have got 2 ISA browns (think that's what they're called) They eat a diet of mash, corn and anything they can get their beaks on in the garden!! Even go to the lengths of jumping very comically up to get the...
