    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Traditionally we wait with Christmas decorations until Sinterklaas and his helpers left the country to return to Spain (by boat). But one of the neighbours house and garden is already a beacon of light in the neighbourhood. We wait, probably buy a tree tomorrow, and put it up on Sunday. Some...

    One chicken not laying but all the others are

    If so, she is not broody. And probably it’s not bullying either, from what you describe. It leaves winter/egg laying stop, in combination with not feeling well, as a real option. Is she walking normal? No big belly with fluid in it? Maybe she just needs a couple of days to get better. But I...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    The last paragraph in the article is a bit strange For many a few European countries, this simple is a gift-giving day in early Advent helps preserve a Christmas Day focus on the meaning of Christmas itself. I forgot : Many people make funny or special personal verses accompanied with the...

    I did as a child, and when we had children. It’s a celebration in the Netherlands and Belgium for children, when they get presents. A bit like kings day in Spain.

    One chicken not laying but all the others are

    Broodiness comes after laying eggs. A broody stops laying, and sits in a nest almost 24/7 . This is hormonal induced behaviour. Other possibilities: she is not well and she feels better in a nestbox to rest and heal. Or she is getting bullied when she wants to roost and the nestbox is the...

    HELP PLEASE

    1.5 feet is enough for most chickens. Also bc you don’t want them to be higher than the roost. + You only need 4 nestboxes for 16 hens.

    No. :p This is ancient knowledge. Ever wondered why most woman choose an older man as husband even before the word feminist got into our vocabulary. ? 20 yo boys/men often behave very irresponsible. While most girls/woman think ahead more, and don’t get into trouble (jail) as much as boys/men...

    Quoting myself bc I think i found the problem/solution. But I find it worrying though. I use the browser Ecosia: eco-friendly, based in Europe and is moving away from US tech giants. But recently I had so much problems with the BYC website/platform that I used Safari’s browser again for BYC...

    No Crow Rooster collar

    I’m not convinced to use a rooster collar up till now, bc I have been reading some nasty stories about rooster collars. I haven’t read many success stories. For how long does your rooster wear this tie wrap?
