    Did you ever notice that chickens tell a different story if they experienced a scary adventure? I noticed this especially with Ini mini. The first time after she escaped from a dog and flew over a few hedges to a neighbour a couple of gardens from ours where she was trapped when the adrenaline...

    ❤️ Lot’s of love and good thinking went into this. I hope you can bring in a few newcomers very soon to fill the gap. How many do you want to add?

    It seems Ini mini is often resting, looking tired and miserable. Today I gave her a little left over from my yoghurt with orange juice. The other chickens wanted to share (take over) but she pecked the other monsters to back off. Still in charge as oldest of the flock. And very active too from...

    This is absolute crap 💩 . She lost any claim on Fret after handing over the care into your hands. But I do understand if Fret’s life became very miserable you don’t mind if C will do the deed to euthanise. If she acts on your judgement this is probably the best. :hugs :hugs

    I presumed @thistlewick meant the choice in a simple reaction without using the reply. Like Thistlewick I often find it ‘difficult’ to make the right choice. Sometimes its sad, and giving a ❤️ it what I like to do. But if the message itself is not lovely it feels strange to do so. There...

    Sorry to hear about these multiple health problems. As said this sucks. Aging obviously has its downsides. Wishing all the best for both of you.:hugs :hugs I give up my hopes on Fret after the last post. At least 2 fits in one day, the way you describe what happened is probably a sign she won’t...

    Sad chickens My youngest grandson loves chicken, but he loves animals as well. Obviously he struggled with this dilemma when he told the caretaker of the petting zoo, he was visiting with his father and brother, when he said:” I feel very sorry for the chickens because they are so tasty.”...

    Congrats again! :wee If you let your broodies do as they please and don't cull any older hens, we need to congratulate you constantly, or at least every week, every spring and summer. ;)

    I understand, grieving is a strange thing. But somehow, at least until now, I didn't grieve very much after the losses of chickens or other pets I had. I got over these losses rather quick. But I do feel a constant sadness for the millions of chickens and other farm animals in the meat, milk and...

    I had a fairy egg of one the Amrocks too a few days ago. Posted the photo on my own thread too. There is a drop in the number of eggs too. The Amrocks obvious have more difficulties with the warm weather (>30 °C) than my small bantams. I dont know if there is another reason. 1. Amrock, Gin or...
