Just been told that my Shetland hen, Gladys', dad has died at age 9. He had nine lives - trampled and knocked unconscious by a bull, tangled in electric fencing, nearly killed by another cockerel...he weathered it all. And appeared on National t.v. here in the UK! He died peacefully in his...

I love goats! I do not need a goat either but... My friend has an Asiatic Golden Pheasant cock. He is a little 💩Terrorises her dogs, ducks and bantams. He's beautiful though, 😍.

Aww, I love It when the young boys try to crow! 🤣 I remember the first time Stan tried to crow. Stan watched his dad let out a magnificent crow, threw his heart and soul into copying him - head back, chest puffed out - and out came...a tiny, pathetic squeak :lau

My vet friend (who is coming tomorrow to examine Stan) finally got the results of the bloods we took from Penelope. She had leukaemia. It was a bit of a shock but when she didn't bounce back properly after we wormed her, my next best guess was some type of cancer. I had suspected reproductive...

So glad you found her in time. Lucky pullet!

Mine won't eat green grapes. But they are spoiled brats 🤣

This is more or less my philosophy. I even re-home the rats we catch!

Cockerels are such drama queens!

Poor Callia! We had similar issues with Alice in terms of travel and being taken to the vet. She had a 3 hour round trip to a specialist avian vet when she had EYP. She was so distressed by the whole experience and the vet couldn't do a lot for her other than antibiotics and painkillers. We...

Aww, I wish the boys well and hope they all find fantastic homes ❤️ I could recognise which one is Zacchaeus in the photo. He has something about him. Once he's got over losing his brothers, he'll really blossom, I think. And such perfect floofs. Too cute for words :love:love:love

It depends. I have to cut them in half for Princess Gladys (my biggest hen). The other girls and Stan prefer them cut in half or quarters lengthways but I've seen them all scarf grapes down whole. In fact, I once saw Pru swallow a grape I swear was the size of her head! Took her a while, but she...

It was absolutely amazing! The architecture is so beautiful, the food is great and the people are friendly. We did a bit of island hopping - Murano, Burano, Lido and Torcello - too. If we can get pet sitters, were planning on going to Florence in September. I'd happily do a casino in Vegas too...

Ooh, how exciting! I've never kept turkeys but always wanted to. Such silly but magnificent birds 🦃🦃🦃

Oh! They are just too adorable 😍 😍😍😍😍 I bet you bless the day you decided to help them. I have a real soft spot for calico. My first cat was a stray calico with tabby stripes - what we call "tortie-tabby" over here. I am hopeless with humidity! I prefer dry heat too so Thailand wasn't the best...

Trust a chicken to do it's best to embarrass their owners! When I took Stan to the allotment recently, he 'introduced ' himself to the new neighbours by humping their chihuahua puppy. Poor thing was traumatised for life, I think :th 🤣 Seriously, though, is Callia o.k.?

Blame Momma Hen. They 'decide' if the chick is going to be a boy or a girl. I cursed Pru for months once it was clear her one and only. chick was a boy :hit

He's definitely a keeper then! But I do love an underdog...

Pretty boys and girls 😍 I like the look of the little bright-eyed chap at the back of your last photo. He's got a lovely little twinkle in his eye 🤩

Us humans are never satisfied, are we? Always wanting what we don't have! 😆 Trust me, if you'd had the prolonged rain we've had, you'd be longing for your beautiful desert. At least you're not up to your ankles in sticky, smelly mud...😂 I don't think I'd ever adjust to heat - I swear DH and I...

That makes two of us! My friend is menopausal and says her "brain has stopped braining". I feel like mine has atrophied completely 🤣
