Guest Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Interesting to read about the expert advice(no different to having children then) When I told our local chicken place that i was getting a cube and 2 he told me to cancel them.! What a cheek!! No reason given.. I could tell he was just playing on my novice inexperience but it has put me off going there again. As I am discovering there are plenty of local people who breed birds so am hoping to pick up from them. As Harry Enfield says "saw u coming"! indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodles Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 thanks ANH and Wild Mum for your advice. It's very early days yet BUT today I noticed that Clementine (baldest) has some new feathers peeping through on her sides - time will tell how they will progress. There were also 2 normal eggs in the nest box today. Wild Mum - I am further along the coast from you closer to Brighton. The vet practice I use advises me to take my chickens to their "exotic pets" expert and although he's helpful I feel he's not particularly a chicken expert. I will try and get hold of some limestone flour though and give that a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
