Its lovely.I bet the horses love it when you turn up and same as the dogs. That's why I love animals- they are unconditional. Sam is always waiting for me at the front door at 4 am when I leave for his "good boy watch my family " pat. I have noticed these guys are very friendly and I hand feed them. Fred in particular And I have one neighbour onside to keep him YAY

This is becoming quite frightening. Keep a close eye on your flocks , I have this awful feeling that it's only a matter of time.
Find it interesting that some ' backyard ' breeders have over 5,000 birds.

I made a meatloaf the other night and had half left over. Took it out to the chooks this morning and they were very, very happy to receive! And rather healthy!

Just a little update on Carl. This morning after two days on her new grass free diet her crop was still full but not as full as it has been, and not as hard feeling either.

Kept her in the bunny cage again today and she did eat a bit this morning and this afternoon I gave her some fresh food and put winry (our mild cross beak) in with her figuring she could eat what Carl didn't and it would do her good too as she is always a bit on the skinny side. Well apparently that is the secret, Carl suddenly discovered she had a huge appetite after all after pecking winry to tell her it was not for her.

Been giving her only soft easily digested foods plus vitamins and probiotics and the fennel tea to drink and I can definatly see an improvement. Hopefully her crop will be even better tomorrow morning. Oh and I also put a bowl of grit in there too and she did peck at that a bit too.

That's such great news about Carl. So pleased she is showing such great improvement
