It sounds like you are doing all you can for them mate, I'm sure they will be absolutely fine. The fact that so many hens have laid they are obviously happy enoughMurray wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 10:00 pm The shed the pigeons are locked up in has straw on the floor. With them flying around in there they have swept it all against the walls. All around the walls are hens sitting on eggs. It was a hen house, and that's what it looks like now!![]()

I am going round throwing eggs away and putting pot eggs under them.
It's pretty rough in there, but I am trying to care for them, they get fresh water twice a day to keep the dust out of it, I gave them a big plate of chopped veggies yesterday and they attacked that. They get a cup full of fresh grit every day and some fish oil on the feed.
I have lightened the feed up quite a lot to stop them from getting too fat. They look fine and seem quite happy. I try to spend a bit of time in there with them to keep the bond with them.
Looking forward to getting to the cottage and getting the loft up again.
Yep, it's like a holiday in the country. The farmer just around the road is a bit of a waster, his sheep roam around, we had about 20 in the back this morning down by the creek.
It sounds and looks amazing mate, enjoy your relaxation for as long as you can mate.Murray wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 10:55 pmYep, it's like a holiday in the country.

The people are very friendly, if a bit 'rural'![]()
Every car or tractor that goes past, they wave out to you. If you meet someone, they lean on a fence post and settle in for a chat. Not like the city.
