    Sorry for your loss, know just how much it hurts when they pass. I’d not be a good farmer. Rosemary’s out in the garden in the day. In the evening she has a large crate with food, water and a bed of wood shavings. it’s outdoors in the day, come the evening she sit’s in there and waits for me to...

    Thanks for the replies It seems if I confiscate the egg soon enough everything is ok but if left for a couple of hours it’s gone. Had chips for lunch, Rosemary’s only allowed one chip, she’d eat the whole portion otherwise. Then there’s the problem of beak cleaning

    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. I’ve kept hybrid hens for six years as pets but don’t eat eggs, the neighbours benefit thus. I have one remaining hen Rosemary who is a rescue/exbat and lives in the house with me for company. We watch tv or...
