Just thought i would update this for anyone else trying to sex their polands. all of the polands in the pictures turned out to be boys.

if the weather is nice on the weekend i will try to integrate the 2 groups. but i will be watching very closely

I have 2 serama breeding pens. 1 pen consists of 5 hens and 1 rooster and the other one has 8 hens and 2 roosters. both pens have been next to each other for 4 months so they have already got used to each other and no longer fight between the fence. i would like to merge the 2 pens into one...

ok so my conclusion is that she must have perosis (slipped tendon). i am going to put both legs into their correct position and vet wrap them to keep them like that. i have made a sling for her to be in. this is my last resort so fingers crossed that this works

Update So I treated the chick as if she had splay leg as her toes are a little curled and her feet wide apart. She manages to get up for short periods but her legs are still very bent. Her hocks have also got a little swollen as she was leaning on them alot. I have been giving her vitamin b2...

my metal run is 6m x 6m, if i buy it now it will cost around £700 (with upgraded mesh) takes ages to put together though as its all held together with cable ties. i have ok building skills and with everything i do i'm learning. yes as an apron.

Hi, i've not long brought my smallholding property and have a large 2 acre field. i would like to build a number of runs next to each other so i can keep my breeding pens organised. i don't want these runs/pens to be too small. there would be a maximum of 5 hens to 1 rooster in each cage...

what was the outcome?

I can't see an egg stuck. She is alot more aleet this morning and has eaten a little bit more. She has never been a good layer and her egg laying is random. I think my last egg from her would have been 6-7 days ago

ive been giving her vit boost with added crushed garlic, ginger also it has chopped thyme, rosemary and sage in it. she wasn't drinking so i was dropping it into her beak. she rested for about and hour and now she is up on her feet and chatting a little. she has groomed herself and jumped on my...

Thank you, I will try that
