I have eggs arriving tomorrow, 4 ayam cemani and 2 jersey giants i cant wait to join in with chick pics!

I'm in Bistol and theres a couple farms here that deliver. If you google chicks for sale in Birmingham something should pop up. Sometimes trade it has chicks for sale to. Has anyone had any problems with hens attacking new hens? I put two new ones in on friday night and last night I had to...

Managed to get down there yesterday and had a cuddle with the not so little chicks. Ginger is deficiently significantly heavier than Babs so maybe the egg wait wont be so long. Both cats have been avoiding me, I clearly dont smell right to them, Jinny has been like it for months so looking back...

hey all and welcome to those I haven't spoken to before :-) Iv not been able to come online for a while as I spent a week bed bound in agony then 3 weeks in hospital, the last couple of weeks iv been trying to recover. It has defiantly been the longest 2months of my life, not being made any...

Astrid is beautiful! That may be the next breed i get!

Oh no hopefully she will re appear with lil chicks following her will keep everything crossed in the hope that happens! Tasha is so funny, isit normal to be so sneaky about creating a clutch? mine have only laid in the nest boxes or just on the coop floor if spooked and once in next doors...

Oh no I hope that it is the case and she has been extremely sneaky! hope you find her soon. Me and the girls have crossed everything for you and Dippy xx

I was worried about it being too bright too but its only the one wall and im facing away from it or not in the room the majority of the time and with black out curtains for when im bad it hasnt had a bad effect so far. I get them because of my blood preasure being to high so the slight bit of...

Couldn't reply yesterday as ended up in bed with a migraine, such fun! My room is still a work in progress but its pretty much there just needs a few finishing touches and it will be perfect. Its not been decorated in 10 years so was definitely in need of a redo! plus im not 14 any more so...

Well isnt he one handsome Mr! I started with 3 and a year and a half later I have 8, Id have alot more if I let my silkies hatch as much as they seem to want to but I cant handle more right now :-( Although the coop could fit another 10-15 maybe more as they all huddle together to sleep so...

Oh I have seen those! thats a pain about the pricing thought, Im very lucky my dad is so good at making things and a hoarder (probably the only time iv said that!) so we used up alot of the wood he had lying around making the coop and run. That sounds really hard to see but at least his life...

Thats an awful start for the chicks but its so lovely that you managed to save them from their fait! sounds live you have totally caught the chicken fever! Sounds like youv definitely managed to get a good thing going for your self :-D

Hello and welcome :-) It is lovely that you managed to rescue chicks and give them a loving home. Do they all have names? Were they in a bad way when you rescued them?

My dad had never killed a roo before but he's a bit of a cave man when it comes down for it 'man kill food, man eat food!' so he was well up for and I think quite enjoyed doing it. Was lucky he had a friend who grew up around chickens so was able to show him and talk him through what to do so if...

That is strange shes not laid at all and hasnt gone broody, how old is she now? All three of mine laid a couple eggs then went broody pretty sharpish and as soon as they stop being broody they start broodiness all over again its a vicious circle maybe you should borrow one! I had that same...

All three of my silkies have laid, beautiful white eggs but they are more broody than anything, they have taken to singing their song when i kick them out of the nest box for a run around and tricks me every time I go back down the garden to find they was playing tricks on me! these are my first...

Thank you Barbara I will definitely keep that in mind! they get more confused with the chicken wire than my other hens so I will have to keep an eye on their eyes! My first three as they was inside for their first 4months I washed them regularly as they tended to get poop stuck around their...
