Hi My light sussex chicken has a mucusy bottom and dirty feathers around the bum. Anyone got any ideas why? Many Thanks Steve

Sorry no pics suzanne but I think they are friends now. Steve

I use a 200l blue drum. Steve

When I first started the name black rock confused me and Ithought it was a pure breed so entered it into a show . Steve

Dont worry. Yeah a dog crate is a good idea. It should put her off being broody because its not the most comfortable thing to sit in. Keep her in that and seltered for about three days. This should put her off the idea. Hope this helps Steve

I have recently learnt from my mistakes by the means of bad introduction into a flock. Steve

Thanks eglutyne Steve

Hi We got a welsummer banty hen on Saturday and the other 4 banty hen dont seem to be excepting it and it has just been roosting in the house today. Any tips on how it can be excepted into flock? Steve

Hi guys Thanks for all the help. I have his beak trimmed and I have set a stone in the run. Thanks Steve

Hi Today we gota sablepoot bantam pair and welsummer hen bantam beautiful birds. The sable poots are still very young but the rooster seems to have a long top of beak that goes over lower part and down. Would you advice trimming or would it wear down after being out a while? Steve

I have started course three weeks ago and enjoying it expecting to get bees in May. Steve

Yeah good idea. Thanks everyone for your help. Steve

Thanks I think its a pure wyandotte because its got a coded leg ring from breeder. Thanks Stephen

Hi My friend owns this chicken and was told it was an orpington he thinks it may be a wyandotte could anyone hlep? know what it is?? thanks stephen

Yeah thats a good idea. Sometimes even at shows on some of the cages you see advertisements for that breed. Steve

I just love mums buns. Your own eggs deffinatley make them special. Stephen

Hi is Do you mean its the only way for you 'cos of the selection to choose from? You can get the same selection at sales pens in shows (and generally better quality that sales), if you did. Where abouts are you? Maybe people could suggest a local breeder/show Hi Ilive in Northern Ireland and I am not aware of any special sale shows. Thanks Steve

Good idea. Its the only way for me but to have a selection of poultry but thanks I will be careful. Steve

Anybody planning to go to poultry fairs to get young stock? Im hopeing to go to a big poultry sale on 12th March as I am looking to get another banty or two that I would be able to show. Steve

Mum made plain buns using the eggs from our banties and they taste delightful. I dont know whether its because its our own produce. Steve

Wow lots of people. Hope u enjoyed it. Iam starting my preliminary beekeeping course next tuesday evening. Steve

Sorry plum im unsure because last night gave me the oppurnity to get her before she went to sleep. I will let u know next time I have a litsen. Thanks Steve
