I usually only do the veggies once a week, on Saturday, but they cleaned it up yesterday in no time, so I am going to give them another lot this morning. They had the garlic and cider vinegar yesterday, and the shed was full of down feathers this morning, so it is all helping them. I know what you ...

Very nice strong eye George full of distance, not having Andy's knowledge I couldn't say whether it's a breeding eye or not but it would go well with the very first eye in this post or the last one as they both have plenty of room to absorb the strength

Good to hear you managed to get together for your agm Andy, I expect it was nice to meet up after all that time, is Phil still a member and planning on racing ??

We were discussing getting the feeding right, and I thought I would mention what I have found in the last week. Because the young birds were a bit 'on the tooth', I added a bit of maize and peas to the mix, and increased the amount a little. This seemed to satisfy them, but the last week they seem ...

Yes, give it a try. It only takes a minute to throw some green leaves and a carrot and a bit of kale or whatever you have in the blender. Its good for them and they really enjoy it. I really must try your method Muzza, mine do get a lettuce a week, the hens eat more of it than the cocks do. Years a...

Great photos again Andy, our birds had a nice bath today too. I think they actually prefer to bath on a cold and dull day, surprisingly they never seem so keen on a hot day. I wonder if that's because the feathers dry out too quick

Great photos Andy she has certainly come along way down the garden lol
Hmmmm I can't see you being able to race her now bruv
