Where to get chickens for a low reasonable price in Sheffield
Jobi-Wan replied to zerocool's topic in Sheffield Pet Owners
Hi Zerocool, I'm Jo the Co-ordinator for Sheffield for Hen Rehomers UK (formerly North London Hen Rescue). Have a look around our website by clicking on my link and if you have any questions feel free to ask, pm, or come and see me and my ladies. You can also get hens via http://www.bhwt.org.uk (who's site I think you must have been on as John in Lincs is their nearest co-ordinator, and incidentally where I got my first four hens from), or you can get POL (point of lay - approx 18 week old) hens from http://www.storrspoultry.co.uk or http://www.rawgreencottages.co.uk if you did want to pay a fair amount or wanted pure breds. Ex batt hens are approx. 72 weeks old when we get them from the farmer rather than them going to slaughter. At that age they enter their first moult and egg production and uniformity reduces so they become economically unviable and are replaced. But as Puddinburner says with a bit of good feed and TLC they soon start laying again, and bigger eggs too! I'm not too sure when our next rescue will be, it was due to be December but at the moment egg prices are quite high so farmers are hanging onto their stock a little longer, but please bear with us, nobody gets forgotten. If I can help further please just ask but search for other chickeny threads as there's loads of good info on there. -
Does anyone have bits to make a chicken shed and run?
Jobi-Wan replied to cooljules's topic in Sheffield Pet Owners
I'm at Hellaby, just off M18, junc 1. PM me if you fancy popping over and I'll give you my number to arrange. I built my hen house based on a 5'x3' trailer lid and with old fence posts as the supports and sheets of ply for the walls and roof, incorporating a window. It cost me about £20 in total and would probably house 15 hens, but I only have 7 in there at the mo. I also used shelf brackets and timber stud walling batons for the perches and it's off the floor to give shelter underneath. It doesn't have to be fancy as long as it's fox proof and does the job it was built for -

Jobi-Wan replied to cooljules's topic in Sheffield Pet Owners
I might have a few bits of wood lying around. How big are you wanting to build it? I built mine if you want to see how I put it together when collecting the wood? -
I have 2 ferals living in the garden and Oscar and his new kitty friend in the house, that's enough for me

what area?

Buying animals and knowing how good their new homes are?
Jobi-Wan replied to teeny's topic in Sheffield Pet Owners
I do think there needs to be a certain amount of responsibility from anyone selling or rehoming an animal to make sure that the new owner has the knowledge and tools to ensure the animals continued welfare. If there was a publicly available list, would every seller be bothered to check it? -
Ooh, when is the next free session in Rotherham, need to get the new kitty chipped
-
yes, lots of bunnies get out of gardens, it would make sense. All my horses are done too... just in case
