Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

I think Paprika's eye is wandering; this was snapped through glass (sorry for awful quality) when they re-emerged from the border into which they'd both disappeared a few minutes earlier... this fine fellow's been hanging around, eying up the hens, for about a month now :rolleyes: Apparently they can interbreed successfully.

Really ? I wonder what the offspring would be like...

Well, he is a good looking lad, so who can blame her?!

C opens feed bags by madly stabbing and ripping. I opened it properly.:p I've found a new definition of irritating. Irritating is doing something badly and then having someone come along and make a proper job of it.:D

We had agreed to feed outside of the coop for exactly this reason.

I got some Iodine. Made my mix of Vaseline and Iodine but a bit stronger on the Iodine. Been struggling with SLM with this hen who has bad SLM and I think some other problems. One day of SLM treatment with the Iodine added and she looks a lot happier.

Another Legbar has moved into the new coop.:celebrateOne more Legbar to go and it will be just Henry, Matilda and Lima left to persuade.

so are the remainers now/sometimes roosting in the old wooden coop, not out on the cross bar roost in the open?
Yes. Henry decided that he was going to roost in the old coop and initially two Legbars and Matilda followed suit. I had to move Lima in with them. She was intent on roosting on her own on the outside roost bar.
Hopefully this will be less of a problem by the end of the week, assuming I can escape any further family commitments.
