It contains useful information about protecting poultry from disease and includes tips on what to do should poultry owners suspect that their birds are infected with a disease such as avian influenza.

Hi – we always thought egg pecking was a sign of boredom. I agree with your suggestion of giving them green veg – we actually hang cabbage stalks & sprout stalks from string – so that they move when pecked & act as a bit of a challenge!

Hi Topveg,
Great idea about the cabbage and sprout stalks will do that.
The hens are eating the eggs in the morning before I let the poultry out. My friend Sarah suggested segregating the hut into a duck and hen side which sounds like a good idea, but will try the cabbage and sprouts stalks first.
Kind regards

Do fowl get the Winter Blues like us? Just a thought… I have no idea about them as I’ve never had ducks though my Mum always had them when I was a child
