    I just love how they've got expensive tastes having never even tried the offering before.:D I take the field chickens all sorts of food. I take them a slice of supermarket roast beef from time to time. The other week I got given a 10 oz fillet steak bang on it's use by date. That's way too much...

    You get better pictures than I do in the damp grey conditions. Amazing what some sunlight does to photograpy.

    There is a point system for being naughty. I collected a few. :p Get enough points and one gets banned. I would assume the removal of badges works on the same principle. I should point out that from what I've seen the points system for bad behaviour is fair given the nature of the site.

    Congratulations on your friends badge. It works like this; the more badges one gets the less freedom one has to piss people off.:p

    I think the shouting may be of benefit to the keeper rather than the rooster.:lol: I found it helped me anyway.

    Our well went dry a couple of times as did the rest of the wells on our side of the mountain. It's not a delivery problem though. The problem was too many people moving to the area who wanted to wash their cars, water their lawns, set up showers for their kids... In short people who had no idea...

    I had a ground larder in Catalonia and for much of the food stuffs I kept then and now it worked really well. Cheese for example tasted so much better from the ground larder than the fridge. What would be hard to replace without electricity is a freezer and if it wasn't for that I could have...

    Hoping the family can sort themselves out and better still, provide you both with some security of tenure. I've done the move and lose everything bit and it really isn't to be recommended.

    I've tried this and it didn't work for me. Either the chicken dropped the food and leaf, or they felt me approaching and darted off just as I bent down to catch them.

    The tribes in Catalonia couldn't. The lot at the field can't either. We had at least a dozen walnut trees most of which fruited. Mostly the chickens ate walnuts that had been broken open by the wild boar, or the sheep and donkeys when they trod on them.

    The dramatization of the news has become the norm here in the British media. Alarms for this, warnings for that, it's no wonder some people have become terrified of their own shadow. It's not as if we can do much about the weather. I've worked outside in worse conditions than the recent storms...

    A single upright piece of wood like I used to stop Mow from bothering the chicks might work.

    I'm still getting courgettes, just about, but the late planted tomatoes are not going to produce any more ripe tomatoes this year. It's just too wet and chilly with not enough sunshine.

    Most dreid mealworms one can get in the UK are not raised in the UK and some at least have some very unpleasant chemicals in them.

    Not really. All the poll shows is that a proportion of hens do get feed fussy during moult. To make the issue clearer one would want to know what exactly it is that they do eat and I have tried to observe and record this a few times now with much luck.

    The chickens loved the wax moths from the hive cleaning in Catalonia.
