mollyripkim Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Oh dear there is always something to worry about, hope she is out soon. My mum broke her hip and was in over Christmas and new year, she was so relieved to come home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Poor you Luvachicken. I've been reading this but not posting. My big run has been straw all winter as it was so muddy. My other 2 runs are dirt and I occasionally put some straw pellets and biodri down. Don't think I'll be going back to wood chip, chopped straw or similar. Sending my best wishes.

Luvachicken Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Thanks Chickabee and Mollyripkim for the wishes for my Mum I really liked the bedding. It had a beautiful smell and the chickens loved pecking around in it and when you threw treats into it, it took them a long time to find them because you just couldn't see them Oh well, a big lesson learned and an expensive mistake to make. I suppose some chickens just don't know what is good for them to eat. Gemma is still doing clearing throat movements and then I noticed one of my lavenders do it too I really hope maybe all chickens do that some of the time. Was thinking I could buy them all some maggots ? Do you think that is a good idea ? Won't be able to keep an eye on them again today as back off down to Portsmouth.
