I wouldn't worry too much - she's still learning. Some chickens will fuss around for hours. Do you give her extra oyster shell? She will like a dark, enclosed space to lay and I'd put some fake eggs in there as chickens like adding to the egg pile. Our 2 year old outside chickens will only...

She is gorgeous! I can see why you love her.

Awww, I love goats!

All of those sound fine as treats. Ours go crazy for cheese as a treat. It's how I used to catch them to bring them inside at night without having to climb into the small run they were in. They like apple too. Really anything we eat they want!

Glad to hear she enjoyed her mash. They are funny (and fussy) creatures sometimes!

I'm so sorry you are going through this. We lost a 20 week old pullet 6 weeks ago. Her 3 hatch mates are fine, though I quarantined them just in case, so I don't know what it was. Our daughter was utterly devastated, as was I, as our little Calypso was the sweetest, friendliest little thing. Do...

Mine seem to love their wet mash but I used to turn their chick crumble into mash as they were so tiny as chicks and the crumbles were so huge. My chickens don't like pellets or layers crumbles that much. I get them a crushed grain layers feed which they seem to enjoy, but I am in a different...

Whatever makes her happy I say! Indoor pets should be spoilt! I suppose I should confess to having 8 other chickens currently residing indoors. One is a Booted bantam who is raising 4 Silkie babies (they are 6 weeks old now), and 3 other bantams we hatched that would go out on day trips...

I've got a 7 month old indoor cochin bantam who still isn't laying. Her sister is but she's not. They will go and live at my Mums once she's got their outdoor cage modified but they are happy indoors for now. Our property is ankle deep in mud at the moment (we are having a very wet spring) so...

Now I'm even more grateful for what you are doing for me, Reinsaway. And there's no rush, I'm just really grateful that you are doing this for me. Rad looks like she's got a mind of her own, and she looks smart enough to be a very special character. I can imagine her personality brightens your...

You've chosen my two favourite colours - you're brilliant! They are going to look so pretty.

Looking gorgeous! I'm glad Rad is ok.

Here's Ducky with her tail up and one of her front on (she's a bit of a poser). We've ended up with three white girls, although Cotton is Columbian coloured so has the black necklace and black in her tail, wings and foot feathering. She's also very shy so hard to get a good photo of...

Ok, our other cochin, Cotton, measures 13 inches round her tummy and 6 inches from vent to wings (her backside is so fluffy I had trouble finding her vent!). Ducky is 12 and a quarter inches round her tummy and 5 inches from vent to wings. Here's a picture of her as she has closer feathers...

Wow, thank you so much! You're an angel! It's evening here so I'll measure the other two tomorrow. The other cochin is probably about the same but our booted bantam, Ducky, isn't as fluffy and will be a bit finer.

Your Rad is gorgeous, and smart! Disco's tummy measurement is 13 and a half inches, and from vent to wing is 5 inches (hopefully - she didn't really like being measured up - I did measure a few times while our daughter helped). The ones I was looking at getting from Australia don't look as...

Thank you so much for doing this. I'll use Disco, one of the cochin bantams, as she's the friendliest. Just tell me which bits to measure. She is very fluffy so how tight should I pull the tape measure?

I don't have a Facebook account but hubby does so I can use his. You'd better check out what the postage would be as it could be quite expensive. We've got three little indoor bantam pullets who are 21 weeks old, a booted bantam and two pekin (cochin) bantams. They caught a respiratory bug...

I would love to help but I'm a bit far away for fittings - New Zealand. Chicken Diapers aren't even available here. I have found some in Australia I could get to try if the postage isn't too much. I hope you share some pictures at some point - I'd love to see your design. Goodluck with your...
