    Hello Everyone - Is it acceptable to leave hens and cockerels without housing, forcing them to find a roost in trees?

    Thank you for your response Raingarden. I do appreciate where you are coming from. What more can I say beyond the trees significantly cloak the noise of the cockerels from his bedroom. We know using the decibel meter outside his bedroom window and outside ours. The farmer has had cockerels in...

    Hello Everyone - Is it acceptable to leave hens and cockerels without housing, forcing them to find a roost in trees?

    I'm sorry, I love cockerels, they are beautiful boys all with their individual characters, just like our sheep. When next doors cockerels start our little boys chime in until they lose their voices. Funny but sad as they show me they can barely croak. But they are sleepy heads and one has to be...

    Hello Everyone - Is it acceptable to leave hens and cockerels without housing, forcing them to find a roost in trees?

    I wonder why :) The farmer is one of my closest friends. He is far from impressed with our neighbour. None have a good word to say for him, but we all say less rather than more and do our best to nod and move on. We have tried to solve. Sent him a text. Spoken to him. Council have sent him a...

    Hello Everyone - Is it acceptable to leave hens and cockerels without housing, forcing them to find a roost in trees?

    Thank you. I agree. I see all the positives and negatives and have considered doing just that and I am still considering. Better for the birds, but this her livelihood. In a former life I taught others to teach and I know only too well that many get through the system that should go nowhere...

    Hello Everyone - Is it acceptable to leave hens and cockerels without housing, forcing them to find a roost in trees?

    I have lived in this semi-rural area for 50 years. I appreciate the cry of young foxes, the hooting of the night owls, and I am accustomed to others in the area keeping hens and cockerels as we do. The reason we held back for so long was out of concern for the cockerels. He is a callous son of a...

    Hello Everyone - Is it acceptable to leave hens and cockerels without housing, forcing them to find a roost in trees?

    We are trying that route but our Council is slow to the point of dead stop and we are seriously struggling without sleep. We have both pranged our cars recently, one on a gate and the other on a bollard, and the last time we had any sort of accident was decades ago. A recent article in all major...

    Hello Everyone - Is it acceptable to leave hens and cockerels without housing, forcing them to find a roost in trees?

    Thank you, I agree with you, but add it can get very cold and snows every year closing the country lanes for a few days. We have seen the hens covered In snow in the trees frozen and their water frozen and crying> Not a lot we can do. Have spoken to his wife a primary school teacher, it beggars...

    I am sticking around, I have used the site on and off for years for health issues etc. Getting through to the RSPCA was a no no, Covid back log and dog high priority.

    Hello Everyone - Is it acceptable to leave hens and cockerels without housing, forcing them to find a roost in trees?

    Thank you for all your replies and so promptly really appreciated. Our two bantam boys are kept separately with their own girls - mainly bantams, plus four hens not overly big. Both have a toasty indoor run with room to move around. Both have separate outdoor runs with covered roof, and both...

    Hello Everyone - Is it acceptable to leave hens and cockerels without housing, forcing them to find a roost in trees?

    I have kept bantams, hens, and bantam cockerels for a few years. Live in the UK high on the Pennine Range of hills, gets pretty cold in Winter. I have got a real serious problem, and it is not just my problem it is a problem I believe for the birds. Can anyone help initially re thoughts on...
