Good luck with the new home Grammy. I hope the move wasn't too stressfull.

I spent an awfull lot on toilet rolls when I had chickens coming in and out of the house.:D

Have you moved?

That's a nice egg! Good uniform colour and the right shape. Good going for a first egg.

You can't do the dusting with hens like that! I agree, they're lovely looking.

Saw this and thought of By Bob and everything is deadly in Australia.

I will be delighted to read you've found your own place where you and the chickens can have some space and security. I know what's it's like to find oneself homeless and largely dependant on friends and relatives. Given we don't agree on much on any topic, I guess I must like you even though...

Oh good. These will be properties for you to buy then? Having somewhere of your own should make a enormous difference to your life; and the chickens.

Does this mean you may be returning to the island Ribh?

One doesn't always see blood in droppings with coccidiosis in my experience. I always have amprolium at hand and it's often the first thing I give when no obvious symptoms say different. Next it's worming. Stress and diet come next. It is my belief that if one was to run a chicken knowledge...

It's not something I have any experience of really Ribh. We did introduce new birds when I worked on the chicken farm but there it was 50 or so at a time and later once the place got established broody hens did it.

I was waiting for the chickens to come out.:(

I found Bantams and full size an easy split. It gets more complicated when eggs that are half bantam and half full sized hatch and grow up within the group.

Chicks!?

Congratulations @Ribh your thread has had 1M views.

I'm down to two hens and Henry at the allotments. This is Fret. She's currently sitting on seven eggs, four of which I brought in for her. My hope is she'll hatch and I won't have to bring any hens in from outside. She's about half way now.

Well at least any eggs she lays won't roll out.:D

There is just no pleasing some people.:p
