Oeflays little saddle has come so she could go back out with the others. But turns out her impaction just moulded and hit from me, so that's still a problem!

She's been leaving me lots of presants to clean up throughout the day, so I'm hoping her crop in no longer blocked! Another one of my girls have managed to get a blockage now, but she's been eating bedding! And thank you!3goodeggs was right, Oeflay's black and white feathers look lovely with violet accents. I hope her crop issues improve. Probiotics after antibiotics would not hurt. Let us the feisty girl thinks of her hen saddle, LOL. Pretty pic of Dorothy.
If I see any eggs I deffo wont be eating any! I saw a few lying around but rats were feasting on them. I hope they can keep eggs coming in so that the rats don't move onto them. It's been really hot lately so I'm going to drive up soon just to make sure they at least have water. Will also try find their feed to feed them. Think I saw it when we went up. And thanks haha, once the girls get over a few years old I tell them just to retire haha. I have one ex batt left who's over 5 now and is still laying daily and is gonna end up running herself into the ground . I keep telling her I don't want her eggs anymore hahaThose poor chickens.
I wonder what the point of keeping them is for?
They can not be healthy. Would they even lay?
Is an egg even valuable from those conditions?
That is a shame.
I'd want to be your chicken if I was going to have to be a chicken...
I'd sit up high and watch the country side. I wouldn't even bother with laying eggs. I'd be one useless hen.
Rafters? Jenny and Penny were from a Primary School. They never got fed or anything. I found them like a year ago yesterday and got them with me in Summer last year. Not sure what happened to the cockerel. He was the most aggressive I've ever seen, so I wasn't taking him sadly. Penny and Jenny in the eglu aren't the ones I wrote a long post about, their pen is heaven compared to the large flock I found the other day!Are Penny and Jenny the ones you got out of the rafters? Didn't your friends want them? Are you keeping the Roo too?
I feel terrible for those other chickens, very sad.
