A quick update: Got my roll of weld mesh.....half inch, 48inch tall and 30m long (90ft!!!) so next thing next month when I get paid is to check out wood 'n' stuff (probably from the sawmill in Hulne Park itself) and price it up. The weather has remained SO cold and wet since I last posted so...

I'd never heard of balut eggs until I googled it (I thought it was some breed of duck!!!) but now that I have.... :sick:tongue:sick:tongue:hit:sick:sick:sick

Ooooh I loved The Private Life of Chickens when I watched it a few months ago :love I spend WAY too much time watching chicken videos on Youtube :gig

Awww poor wee babies :( So perfectly formed too :idunno One thing about the photos which I found fascinating is seeing just how neatly they all fit in whilst inside the egg - ain't Nature amazing! I follow live foal cams at this time of year too and never fail to see a newborn foal and wonder...

Willowfield ~ I was originally tempted to adopt some ex-battery hens as we found caring for the old & abused cats so rewarding when they began to blossom and trust again....taking on abused hens seemed the obvious step for us both. But then a couple of people who'd had ex-batts said they had...

Funnily enough I was just thinking yesterday that I'd better start sowing some tomato seeds soon. I generally do a couple of Gardener's Delight but this year my Kitchen Garden magazine has been giving loads of other varieties away so I'm tempted to try another couple too. I've had some onion &...

And a huge THANK YOU to everybody for making me feel so welcome and at home straight away :hugs This has to be THE friendliest and most helpful forum I've ever been on for advice and supporting each other.....I just know my wee girls will be in good hands once I get them as I'll have all you to...

Oooh how lovely - I take it it's in Hulne Park? I often go walking & birdwatching in there and it's just soooo peaceful......and my allotment is right next to the entrance too :) I grew up on Tyneside and we only moved to rural Northumberland in October 2004 but now we couldn't move back to...

Hahaha funny how other chicken lovers just pop up isn't it! I was at my opticians n Friday having an eye check and getting some new specs and the young lady sorting the specs out for me had parents who kept chickens :) I said I was getting some in the coming months and we had a lovely chat...

I used to get the same when we fostered old, terminally ill and abused cats - my previous workmates just didn't get it. Why would I want to take cats on that wouldn't live much longer.....why take on cats that were vicious (scared because of cruelty from previous owners more like!) etc etc. To...

I would NEVER do that!!!!! *says Gill to husband Neil with her fingers firmly crossed behind her back!* ;) I'm very fortunate in that he's never heard of Chicken Maths :gig So far he thinks I'm only interested in three or four wee little bantams ;)

Hello :frow I'm new here myself but everyone seems SO lovely I'm sure you will soon fit in great :) Funnily enough I've just been offered four female Coturnix Quail today which I'm really excited about :wee A customer who comes into our shop is moving house in a months' time and needs a...

They're BOTH so pretty!!!!! :barnie I chose Sebright though.....but by the thinnest margin ;)

Oooh love your set-up :love Definitely NOT going to let Neil see this *yet* though because he is still under the illusion that we'll have three or four at the most ;) I'm not really 'planning' on more but....well, let's just say I've heard a lot about chicken maths :gig

Hi everyone :frow I'm Gill and live in Alnwick which is in the fabulously rural county of Northumberland in England (the top right-hand corner bit next to Scotland!). :) Married to Neil since 2001 and, ever since I was a wee bairn, I've always had animals around me. I often say to folks...
