In this section I am hoping to cover the most common questions that arise for those new to keeping poultry. For example Moulting: Wing clipping: Broodiness: Hatching - both natural and artificial: Chick rearing: Introducing new hens etc.
I am always happy to try and answer any of your questions or concerns via email and give daily updates on my own poultry on Bellecross Hens Facebook page which you can 'like' and 'follow'
I will start the information pages with MOULTING as now (October) is the time of year when the grass is scattered with feathers and the poor birds look as though they have been dragged through a hedge backwards.
January 2016: IS MY HEN BROODY ?
In the meantime a very useful site for all your poultry queries, information etc.
