We are lucky we have space to keep males. If in the future you do decide you want to have chicks but dont want the chance of males, go to someone with day olds that have been sexed already. We have done that alot, especially if eggs havent hatched for some reason. Good luck with her x

You could either buy some fertile eggs, you can often get them from the farmers market, or buy a couple of day old chicks. But if you really dont want babies like others have said, she needs to be cooled down, a wire cage like they have already mentioned. Babies are more fun though :-)

I shouldn’t have read this whilst at work. I had to walk away from my desk ;-( This is just heart-breaking. I hope you recover well, and try to remember even though it’s terribly hard, the good times you had with him. He was a very gorgeous and lucky boy to have you even though it...

Yes you are right, life is far too short....

This is something thats been on my mind too. I'm finally at the stage where I can afford to buy and look after my own horse, i'm 30 and its been my dream since I cant even remember. I've never wanted children, and my partner is great, he isnt bothered either way, but i'm worried we will change...

I second hemp cream from the body shop, a hairdresser told me about it, obviously her hands are always in water and get sore, and she spoke highly of it. My boyfriend's hand are always in water in his job and his hands get soooo sore, and this works a treat!!

Jeez, what have you all done to me, having to hide my face at work and i've gone through a box of tissues... I do hope one day when I get my first horse I will be able to feel the same as you all, and have a very special bond with it. Some lovely stories from you all :-)

I’m sure even though he had his problems, deep down he couldn’t have wished to be with anyone nicer than you, he went with someone who cared about him and wanted the best for him in every way, and that is important. You gave him a chance, and were there till the end to reassure him. He may not...

You atleast gave him a chance, where as some people may not have. Thats worth something xx

Not being mean..but why would you cull the whole lot? :-( You can stop them doing it i promise...

This^^^ Honestly this works, no need to remove hens etc, just trick them, they wont do it again!

And you know those farmers who get rid, saying they aren't good layers are sooo wrong! They are brilliant layers. They deserve lovely homes. Enjoy x

My cat in general is a pain all year round. He HATES doors that are closed, so he opens them all....wardrobes, drawers, kitchen cupboards, and then he climbs in and decides he doesn’t want anything in there with him, so chucks everything out, clothes, pots/pans, plates, cups….the list goes on...
