That's interesting. It constantly surprises me just how little we know about chickens. I'll look out for this should the opportunity arise. Usually soft yummy bug type foods are gone so fast just keeping track of beak strikes requires slow motion camera footage. Assuming Chirk regains full...

I have entered it. All the stories need editing for spelling grammer etc. I have just not got around to it. Glad you enjoyed it.

At the moment I'm waiting from some responses from publishers but I'm not holding out a great deal of hope. My intention once this route is exhausted is to publish through Amazon. I'm not very good at the editing bit and with my spelling and grammar there is a lot to do still. I'll get there in...

Thank you. I have written Dink's story but it will only be published in the book.

The Troll problem is ongoing here. I can understand some people wanting an area perhaps close to the house clean and tidy but the destruction of the hedgerows and the obsessive stuff in the story just makes my head spin.

This is Fudge, daughter of Cillin and Ruffles, with her three chicks. Fudge isn’t yet a year old, has a lovely disposition and is struggling with her first attempts at being a mother. She’s the most junior hen in her tribe and chose the nest box in my house to sit and hatch in. The...

Thank you for reading them.

I'm pleased you liked them. The book is most likely to be published on the net rather than in hard copy.

Thanks for reading them.:)

I'm going to post a couple of the book versions of other stories that are dotted around the site here. I would like to have them all in one place for ease of reference. Keeping track of them is becoming difficult.:) This isn't a story yet but this picture belongs here. This was Dink. The most...

I'm pleased you like them. There are a few written in the first person. Sometimes I just can't find the imagination to make this work. Other stories are fleshed out diary entries. While the stories are the heart of the book, I draw on the stories as 'evidence' for some fairly serious comment...

Of course. He was an orphan and I dragged him up.:p

I posted this elsewhere. It's a short story to illustrate that even the nicest rooster is really only interested in eggs.;) Fudge and Mel Fudge, now about three months old, a third of the size of the others in the tribe, took an optimistic upward dive for a non existent space on the perch...

Thank you all for reading the stories. I will post a couple more in the not to distant future.

@bamboochicken @drumstick diva @micstrachan @Fields Mountain Farm Thank you all for reading the stories and your kind comments. Yes, they do tend to be a bit sad but the characters have a good life here now and the greatest gift of all is freedom.:)

Dandy and Skunk. Dandy was one of four siblings hatched by Mini Minx (Bantam). Her father was most probably Major (Maran) the head of Tribe 1. Dandy and her siblings were the first natural hatchings at Can P. Dandy was hatched in a wire cage kept in the car port. As soon as it was clear her...

Harold loved Blue Spot. There should be absolutely no doubt in the readers mind about this. If there is one true love story to be told about all those that have lived and died at Can P including the humans Harold and Blue Spot is it. Harold didn’t have any of the characteristics that the...

Cheepy. Cheepy was the last chick to be hatched in an incubator at Can P. Until I introduced natural hatching at Can P, Chris had picked eggs at random and they went into a three egg incubator.. Once the chicks hatched they were transferred into a small wire cage which was kept in the large walk...

I'm pleased you and your granddaughter like the story. Thanks for taking the time to read it. I have lots of stories, they are the building blocks of my book. Unfortunately not many of the stories have happy endings. All life stories end in death. I'll post another and if I can find them the...

Fat Bird from the story above in front of the stove drying out. Pinch and Punch, son and daughter of Blue Spot and Harold (Tribe2) practicing making my life difficult at dusk in the future. They still go up the Magnolia tree at dusk but after some training come down when I call them...
