Watermelon is such a special treat for them on hot days. That was very generous of you.
That's no good. No fruit from those blossoms.
I don' tknow about generous, it was more a matter of putting two and two together. The watermelon was sitting there in the fridge, and the chickens were hot. I'm glad they enjoyed it!
That's the first time I have ever heard someone say they feed dog food to their chickens! Where I live, that would be a very expensive way to keep a flock. Do you feed it as a treat or as a staple? I have been known to let the chickens clean up the leftover cat food if the cat left most of it untouched, but I was so worried about the chickens filling up on food that's not good for them, I stopped doing it.
I’m sorry I forgot he was a boy! He’s beautiful.
Well, he only just started crowing and I was holding a hope he was a tomboy she because I'm in a very long-term house and therefore need to maintain friendly relationships with the neighbours, some of whom work shifts. Less importantly, the neighbours have the option of complaining to the council about excessive noise which would incur a fine as well as the loss of a the rooster. Very soon, the two cockerels will have to visit the vet to be humanely killed.
I've been seriously contemplating a week in the snow. I think it would be very good for me to be snug in a cottage for a week, reading books with no technology. Maybe in 2026? Or 2027?
