Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

There are more people on this earth than mr. C. I would ask someone else on the allotment, a friend or family.

You need to see them to ask them.
It's got very quiet there.

You do better than I do then. I can't do BYC on a mobile phone. I find it too frustrating.

Tell ya it was a exercise I choose not repeat soon .. We are really warm here gardens where so late. Biggest fear from when the rains start again, will they not stop till next June ?
Have to move photos from old machine to this one..

15mph mainly Southerly wind this afternoon with 20mph gusts. This is what I wanted to see.

I think I'm going to have to fit tarpaulin on the door between two layers of mesh. Normally one would just close the pop door and problem sorted, but this is a coop extension more than a run.

There is a view that there are cold hardy chickens. This lot would beg to differ.
There is no doubt they are cold because their feathers are fluffed up and their behaviour is different. They are also cold enough to want to bunch up on the roost bars.

Okay, no allotment people. But friend or family (I don’t mean chickens) could come along one of these days if you make them curious? Be sure the weather is nice and surprise them with coffee ️ biscuits and a little work that has to be done.

I've got people coming but until then I need to get on with finishing what I can while the coop is where it is.

Why is it frustrating?

I rarely do BYC on a laptop. I even typ on my mobile in bed. Works great for me with notifications of this thread , scrolling and spelling corrections.

Can chickens eat pomegranates? I opened my first one from the store today, and there were a few seed inside not quite ripe yet… I’ll mix it in their morning wet mash if they are ok!

Lovely fall day here, chickens did a few hours of vegetable garden cleanup with me while I planted garlic. It was nice to have some company while I worked, although I had to shoo Latte and Ciabatta out of my kale a few times… they were sampling a little more than their fair share.

One of the guilty parties:

She is such a sweetie…but looks so grumpy here!

Mom didn't spare the sugar. Pinch the nose and down in one gulp.

This is the reason my mother never allowed grape juice in the house. She had to take her's with grape juice and it ruined it for her. She couldn't even stand the smell of it.
