    Question of the Day - Thursday, November 20th, 2025

    Yes.. Barefoot in the house in summer. Usually slippers in the garden. Outside there is chicken poop and possible stingers. Have to watch my steps. In winter socks in the house and a sort of clogs in the garden.

    Question of the Day - Sunday, November 9th, 2025

    A nephew of mine traced my fathers family into the early 17th century. They didn’t move around very far. The oldest family members where craftsmen and lived just 20 km from where my nephew and I were born on the other side of the border with Belgium. In those days there was no border between...

    Too hard too choose: Being lazy, gardening, chicken things, hikes in pretty landscapes, visit friends or family, or the other way around (having guests), reading, brain puzzles/puzzle games, making a newsletter as a communication volunteer once a month, visit a cafe or a restaurant with family...

    Glad to be here!

    ‘Going to roost’ time is the worst part of the day if there are bossy hens within your flock. I may help if you can add a screen and a roost in the coop, in way the bullies don’t see Henny Penny when she goes inside on a roost near the pop door. She is probably wise enough to accept this roost...

    Soft shell eggs

    I hope Demeter is right and she starts to lay normal eggs soon. You are right about the calcium. With layer feed and oyster shell on the side she can eat enough calcium. Another possibility could be that these problems are caused by inbreeding. Is her breed some sort of a layer hybrid? Or...

    Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

    I have no clue either then. I knew sort of nothing about chicks back then (11-12 years ago). And very little about chickens too. My prefab, used as broody&chicks coop/run has 10 mm maze hwc.

    Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

    The first year I had chicks (bought 6 weeks old bantams) I put an extra run onto the prefab setup. I made it with mesh panels (maze 5x5 cm) . One chick disappeared. 🥲 The next day I saw another chick walk through a panel. She was all fluff and even though she looked much bigger than the maze...

    How do you get rid of the rubber smell?

    I wonder where these pans are made of. Probably not new real rubber but a synthetic sort or recycled stuff. Made from old tires? Like the outdoor floor mats? I can’t imagine that would be healthy when a scent is coming of. Would you like to drink from a cup of such rubber? 🤮

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    We don’t have cats ourselves. But 5 nextdoor cats from 3 different neighbours visit our garden daily. I know one cat is not a hunter. The other 4 cats are. We have barely any songbirds probably bc of these cats. No mice or rat problems either. Maybe for the same reason. These are not my cats...
