Such a beautiful creature

That's Titania. She really is like having a tiny fairy about.

We gave it in liquid form with a syringe. I'm not sure I will continue as it didn't seem to make the pain better and she hates it when we force her to open her beak. Since she doesn't eat anything at all it's the only way to get it in her.

Brown and grey seem to mix more and more!
Have some of the hens escaped again ?

No more escapes since I've been back as far as I know.
It might seem that way but there are now 3 groups. The newcomers have adopted one and they all roost together in the small coop.

How many hatched?

How many hatched?

10 of 13 so far! Another one is pipped, so fingers crossed they aren’t done yet!

I got a mention in the village newspaper this month I'm told. I haven't seen the article but from what I gather it mentioned I had been sharing the chicken care with C over the winter months.

C got a couple of community care order people to do some bramble and rubbish clearing. If you've been a bit naughty and the state catches you and you end up in court, community work is one of the punishments the court gives out.
They did a decent job and C tells me they will be coming back to do some more.
This was like what you can see on the left.

I don't know what's wrong with the forum, but once I post a picture, I can't type anything after.
Anyway, pictures from today.

Very eloquent way of putting it! Glad you are getting some help, and it looks to be an improvement!

Did you see the Stephen Marchant comical drama about such a group in Bristol? I thought it was a hoot, mostly. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-...ee-the-outlaws-as-a-suburban-low-rent-western And it was great to see Christopher Walken dancing again though it's much simpler than this wonder
