Well, Hoover our Vorwerk cockerel arrived yesterday, and he is lush!! He's in his own ark/run for the moment, just whilst he acclimatises to all his new friends!
And, I've also managed to source some Vorwerk POL's as well! Can't afford to get those until March payday, but lovely Alyson at Ghyllhead Birds is keeping them for me until then.
Means I'll be able to hopefully get some baby Vorkwerks this year too!

The well-known Poultry wormer is now only available on prescription. So, those of us that chose the easy option, now have to go back to calculating and measuring out the darn powder.
I can't help thinking this will lead to over- and under-dosing, in many cases, and maybe even put some people off worming their flock all together.
Progress, they call it...

Hi folks.
Question.......
Am I being paranoid. Yesterday the girls were let out to free range for the first time in a while (many reasons, mainly to do with the fact we had to sort out the fencing as they were doing nextdoors weeding for them)
I noticed a couple of them had enlarged crops..... Thought I would see how they were today. Now one of them has gone down and the other has got bigger, but then looking at all the flock the all seem to be a bit bigger on the right hand side.
Is it because they have been free ranging so therefore just eaten alot in the last couple of days? is it something that I have just never noticed before or is it possible that more than one hen has an impacted crop at the same time ?Last edited by Munch; 22-02-2011, 01:05 PM.Little ol' me

Oh and the chickens are taking over my garden!

Can't get to Carlisle Feb auction due to work Jess, but have already booked 9th April off, will you get to that one? My little barred wyandottes are just starting to lay by the way [/QUOTE]
What a shame - I'm actually a bit undecided myself as its a heck of a way for me, but could try the April auction. Twould be better timing for hatching eggs then too
Oo, barred wyandottes, now there's pretty! Are they banties?
