Today Jeane/Gene (our white chicken) went back to Staglands and we came home with Lettuce (another white chicken). The long-short story is that we bought Jeane a few months ago from Staglands to replace Enid, who we had to put down. We weren’t sure at the time if we had a boy chicken (Rooster) orContinueContinue reading “Jeane is in fact Gene!”

Jeane Smith
Today James and I drove to Staglands, a local wild animal park, and collected a new chicken. We thought that Ziltoid probably needed (wanted) a little friend. Staglands had an advert for baby silkies (Ziltoid is a Silkie). When we got to Staglands we weren’t sure what sort of colour the chickens would be, soContinueContinue reading “Jeane Smith”
RIP Enid
Today we upgraded the chicken coop, but we also had to put poor Enid to sleep. It was heartbreaking. On one hand we were excited about the new coop and the chickens being outside and having a lot more space.But on the other hand, poor Enid was waddling about and falling over and we couldn’tContinueContinue reading “RIP Enid”
Our New Chicken Coop
When we first got the chickens we bought a proper chicken coop to put them outside in. Until now they’ve been too small to go outside. We built it in the garage and then transferred it to the living room to see how it looked. Before we could get the chickens into it Agatha decidedContinueContinue reading “Our New Chicken Coop”
Chick Update 3
I am still the chicken mother of two androgynous chickens…I haven’t a clue whether they’re hens or roosters. It’s driving me mad! I do however, think that Enid is lame. I mean that in a medical sense…she walks in a completely different way to Ziltoid and falls over a lot…maybe she’s just very clumsy…maybe not…butContinueContinue reading “Chick Update 3”
Chick Update 2
We seem to be doing okay so far. After three nights of being a chicken mummy, I feel a little less stressed (but only marginally). They seem to be eating and drinking properly. They’re certainly pooping well…they never seem to stop! Who would have thought that something so small could have that much poop! I’veContinueContinue reading “Chick Update 2”
Chick Update 1
I have spent ALL day stressed about the chicks! My main worry is that we won’t be able to keep them warm enough and they will get stressed, or die. I’ve never been required to look after anything so very delicate before. It’s very stressful. So far so good though. They’re very cute. I justContinueContinue reading “Chick Update 1”
Chickens!
This weekend we bought chickens. We have been talking about it for a while now, but I didn’t realise that we were actually going to get them so soon! One minute we were sat in bed talking about it, then next James tells me that we are the proud owners of two chicks. We haveContinueContinue reading “Chickens!”
