sarah-w Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Grrr can't believe bonfire night started last night here! Rockets going off big and loud enough to shake the roof tiles Was dreading opening the this morning but thankfully all girls ok, just an awful lot of poop and feathers in there!! Don't you just know its going to last the whole week as well How is everyone else? Sarah x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Girls all looked fine this morning, unusually large egg from Shirley though. Wonder if it might be our first double yolker . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Last Tuesday was Diwali which is a massive event in this neighbourhood, much much bigger than any Bonfire Night I have ever experienced1 My girls were fine, laying as usual on Wednesday.

koo2cat Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I am praying for torential rain on bonfire night so no one can let any off round here as I am very worried about our chickens, rabbits and cats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I worried about mine last November (their first introduction to fireworks) but although I was a nervous wreck after every bang, the girls were supremely unconcerned and didn't appear to notice!

Hen Watch Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 My lot didn't bat an eyelid last year but did produce a few "oohh what was that" shaped torpedo eggs. Be lucky if they do this year as they are on egg laying strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little jerry Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 My local newspaper advises to bring all animals in outdoor hutches indoors while the fireworks are going on and have some music on to dull the sound of the banging. I suppose this could be difficult if you have alot of chickens.Might bring my 2 in to the kitchen. They love this anyway. We live in a built up area and our neighbours have fireworks. Our cat and dog dont get upset by the fireworks, so hopefully the chickens wont either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
