Yes, a warm welcome to you Siobhan. I look forward to meeting you in the forums. Tim.

It's a bit late in the season now. Most Geese stop laying around June time. You may find someone with goslings for sale but the Brecon Buff is popular and may need booking in advance. Good Luck. Tim

Hi Craig, Welcome to the forum, sounds like you have / have had some interesting birds. Hope you have fun here. :) Tim

Here is a follow up to Chasing Clouds earlier post that was sent to me by PM:

Hi Foxy, Welcome to the forum. Thank you for joining us, I hope you will have fun and find it useful. I look forward to meeting you in the forums! Tim

Hi all, I am writing about poultry bedding at the moment (floors not nest boxes) and would like to know what sort of bedding people are using. Please do not include chicks, growers etc - just fully grown chickens. Please can you vote below and if you select other, please leave a reply to...

Hiya Helan, a warm welcome :D There are a few articles on Ex Battery Hens on the site that you may want to read - the FAQ I put together with a rehoming charity and should cover most of your immediate questions... We're always here though - there are lots of really great people on the forum...

It's not too bad to work out - and Davidd, Snifter or Myself are often around to help if you get stuck. The main thing is to remember is you can't 'break' anything so feel free to have a go. There is a preview button you can use before you hit submit and there is an edit button so you can go...

Welcome to the forum, it sounds like you have an interesting setup with some interesting birds. I used to keep Buff, White, and Gold Laced Orps at one point but I have had to cut down over the last few years with family commitments and so on. I now only keep French Copper Black Marans and...

:cry: If you do not want to see photos of dead birds, please do not scroll down... :( ...but I feel they are important to show as part of the evidence... Sadly, over night I lost 4 adult Abacot Ranger ducks to an unknown predator (suspected Fox, Mink, Stoat or Weasel). They were behind an...

Hi Nicky, Sounds like a good mix of hens. Welcome to the forum! Tim

Hi Welshchick, Welcome to the forum, great to have you on board :D Nothing wrong with homebrew (if it's done well) ;) I hope you have fun and look forward to meeting you in one of the forums. Tim

Sounds like you have got it spot on ;) Tim

With the photos, there's a limit on the file size - digital cameras take much larger images often 3Mb or so in size so would take ages to download / display and be huge on the screen and need to be stored on the server too. A photo that's up to about 500K or so should display and upload ok -...

Welcome to the forum Lucianne. Great to have you join us. The ideal is to feed them the correct balanced diet which can be done easily with pellets / mash. The most common 'problem' is feeding too much mixed corn or other treats- they love corn, but will make them fat - and fat hens don't lay...

Wow, that's impressive. I had about 15 in total back in the day - 2 cockerels and 13 hens. They are beautiful birds and so calm. good luck with your hatch - that's alot of eggs!

Welcome Norm, Seems like you have got it pretty much covered so far... Tim

Hello everyone, I'm slowly working on the Chicken Breeds section of the site, breed by breed (and believe me, this takes ages finding and cutting out the photos, researching the breeds and writing about them). I've been looking at the Hybrid Chickens part today (yes, I know, not strictly a...
