Hi Folks,
Just sayin’ hello, Rosemary’s fine still living in the house, doesn’t lay anymore, stable at 1.9 kilos and four years old (that’s 2.5 years free from factory life)
Currently likes banana, avocado peanut butter and mackrel fillets.
and a quick question, do their beaks and claws need...
Sorry for your loss, know just how much it hurts when they pass. I’d not be a good farmer.

Hi Penny,
Rosemary is old (4yrs) and I didn’t know if new birds would bully her (last autumn) so I moved her in to the house with me. I’d seen a lone hen before looking lost without her flock but I got the feeling Rosemary was happy enough with the situation and after much thought went with...
Hi, I’m from England, it’s raining here, has done every day since it quit snowing.
