    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Two rather cold hours today. It froze last night and there were still icebergs floating in the water. It's going to do it a gain tonight apparently and then it's going to stay above freezing but it's likely to rain. Mow and Sylph were in the coop when I arrived. Glais came out to meet me. Glais...

    It's odd. Henry was very good with the chicks. He was a Light Sussex. My friend who keeps Light Sussex's says all his boys have been good with chicks, but not all were good with people or other males.

    Not really. If things were that bad between Glais and the hens I think one would see it in how the hens are when out with him. Not that I've seen. I would say he's improving in his courtship. Mow and Glais know when he wants to mate before he gets close enough to grab them. They just move away...

    Ok to let them sleep seperately? Different birds at different stages of roost interest

    I also think it should be fine. I've had pullets in nest boxes quite a few times when roosting with the seniors has seemed intimidating. On most occasions, especially if mum is no longer actively protecting them they're been pecked by the seniors. They work out who to sleep next to pretty...

    Mini Schnauzer's first encounter with free ranging chickens!

    The Schnauzers I've known have been pretty steady dogs, but they were full size and working dogs. I've met a few when taking a Border Collie for walks and the Collie has seemed hysterical by comparison.:lol: You may be lucky.:confused:

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    A lovely afternoon after some rain this morning. Two hours today. Going by the weather forecast I expected to find everything frozen but I couldn't see nay signs of ice. I got them out. I'm tired of seeing Mow and Sylph under that coop. I don't travel right across Bristol day in, day out to look...

    Dry, cold with bursts of sunshine as the evening drew in. They came out to the extended run to eat, hung around a bit and when I opened the gate to the field Glais as usual headed out and tore around for a bit. Mow and Sylph went back into the coop extension. I went with Glais. We spent about...

    One and a half hours. The water in the coop froze over night so it was cold. We had a look at Glais's ear. He's got a scar but no blockage we could see, He wasn't impressed with his examination.

    Coming Soon "BYC Project 365"!

    I have posted a picture, or rather a few, every day for the past four years, bar those days when I've been too sick to get to the field, say 360 days out of 365.:D Even on those days I've posted pictures that whoever did the chickens for me have taken. By Bob who got me started on the project...

    I find they're, or at least some are, fine at the digging bit. Henry for example really did help when he was of a mind to. It's the planting bit and after that they don't score very well on.:lol:

    My friend who came to dinner Christmas Eve has mentioned thsi band a few times. In general I don't like covers and I'm not a fan of teen pop/Kpop. He sent me a couple of links and despite my prejudices, I had a listen. They're very good. Well recorded as well.:lol:
