This month has been horrendous for flies around our chickens. It doesn’t seem to matter how much I scrub clean and generally disinfect, whatever I do they are there. They aren’t in the hen-house thankfully just in the hen run especially on the hens droppings. I hate killing anything without good reason, yes even flies. However something had to be done. My closest neighbour mentioned she was having a few fly issues. Whether attracted from my hen run or  from the rubbish that hadn’t been collected for weeks due to industrial action locally I don’t know. Whatever the cause I had … Continue reading →]]> http://www.RehomingBatteryHens.com/product-review-red-top-fly-traps/feed/ 0 http://www.RehomingBatteryHens.com/hens-on-the-run/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hens-on-the-run http://www.RehomingBatteryHens.com/hens-on-the-run/#comments Wed, 13 Jul 2011 18:06:43 +0000 Liz http://RehomingBatteryHens.com/?p=28 Liz has gone away for a few days… so I’ve been given the important task of looking after her girls….. So, things started OK this morning. I put the hens food in their enclosure, before opening their coop (much easier as I’ve learnt you don’t get mobbed) and let them out a 5am before I dropped Liz off to catch the coach. Later on, I went to replace their water when I momentarily left the enclosure door open…. only just for a few seconds and that was it, 4 of them were gone, out and free. So I resorted to all the … Continue reading →]]> http://www.RehomingBatteryHens.com/hens-on-the-run/feed/ 0 http://www.RehomingBatteryHens.com/the-hazards-of-letting-your-hens-free-range/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-hazards-of-letting-your-hens-free-range http://www.RehomingBatteryHens.com/the-hazards-of-letting-your-hens-free-range/#comments Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:13:11 +0000 Liz http://RehomingBatteryHens.com/?p=32 As a treat I thought I’d let my girls free range around the garden for the last few days. I must admit this was mainly with the vain hope they would see my ever growing weed patch and clear it for me. Having let them out to roam, I disappeared into the shed to do some “bits”. A while later on leaving the shed, I found the girls had completely ignored the weed patch and instead were engrossed in searching for worms and “titbits” amongst my flower borders. So now not only do I have to still weed my weed … Continue reading →]]> http://www.RehomingBatteryHens.com/the-hazards-of-letting-your-hens-free-range/feed/ 2
