    Because I Don't Like Chickens: Tales of My Flock

    And I also have a story that's worth sharing... let's call it Houdiniette And Her Apprentices So I've mentioned before that Pecan is possibly the most mischievous chicken we've ever had. Well, something happened recently to prove that. Recently, we built a little passageway leading from the...

    Because I Don't Like Chickens: Tales of My Flock

    Okay wow has it been an age or has it just been an age? We downsized the flock a little over winter and are hoping for some hatches this year! So the current coop population is: In the main coop- - Eden, our Copper Blue Maran - a very friendly girl who mothers our Pekins even though they're...

    Hey... yes, definitely. Still working through exams, the June mocks have come around now and that's all fun. Especially as I've just been told I'm not taking three exams, it's SIX for science!! 🤣

    Because I Don't Like Chickens: Tales of My Flock

    *cough* What with exam week... that turned into three weeks... and has ended with me finding out I'm not sitting 3 Science exams, it's SIX (!?!)... it's been hectic around here for ages! But as always, the chickens have just been going about achieving their aims in life: Trista: Go broody at...

    My Coop | Final Plans!

    After long discussions and a lot of thinking about it, I've made my plans! There are of course some details that need finalising, but we'll get to those in time. Hopefully this rather messy diagram shows something of what we've currently got. The playhouse (the large black box) is...

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Hello all! I'm contemplating getting some Silkies and wanted to know: just how susceptible really are they to Marek's and other diseases? I don't want to end up having to stop keeping chickens if one of the Silkies infects the entire flock or something - and figured that this was a good place to...

    Because I Don't Like Chickens: Tales of My Flock

    And here's the latest episode from the coop - a rundown on everyone's attitude to laying, by order of age. Trista: I'm such a sweet old girl that I won't get annoyed if you want to share my nextbox. But please be quiet, otherwise I will get very angry. Tansy: I don't ask for the nestbox very...

    "I don't know either. I feel like we're grinding to a halt and I want to do something about it," Alina admitted.

    Alina shrugged. "Dad tends to be fond of toast. There're some hardboiled eggs in the fridge and if I know him he'll just smoosh that up with avocado and put that on it. I generally go with the same, but there's cheese and stuff if you prefer that." She followed Tara down the stairs. "He'll be...

    As the birds began their morning chorus, even before the sun rose, Alina crept, catlike, out of bed and slipped through the connecting door into her workroom, and out onto the long balcony. Her hair was a tangled mess of bright coppery waves. The gentle sunlight gave a golden glow to her usually...

    How long did it take you to 'get' hatching with an incubator?

    Okay, thank you for the advice. Do you have any estimates for how the weight should change over the incubation period?

    How long did it take you to 'get' hatching with an incubator?

    37.9 approx - it's actually an unbranded 24-egg incubator recommended by several friends. I am now wondering, however, whether it was the best idea or not... but the step has been taken and I know others have succeeded with it, so we'll have to see.

    How long did it take you to 'get' hatching with an incubator?

    I'll have to have a look at these. Our manual recommended 50% up to day 18, and then 65% for the rest of the time. We've been using multiple other thermometers etc. and there's never been more than .1 of a degree disagreement in temperature, or about 3% disagreement in humidity. Is that...
