I asked the same question last week and I was given this link which gives you instructions on how to post photos. Give it a try, its quite straight forward...

Thanks Stace, I did think it was OK as they are all so young, (only about 22/23 weeks) and just getting the hang of laying, but it is good to get confirmaiton from someone else. I love this forum... it is so useful. I spend almost as much time looking at it as my chooks. Poor Colin, he is so neglect...

Had a soft shell egg yesterday and today had a perfect yolk but no sign of any shell. Our chooks are all Point-of-Lay and one only started laying on Tuesday. (Had one good egg Tues and another good one on Thurs) Is this OK?? - I hope this is just 'teething problems' and me just worrying over nothing...

Hi Maggi, We have had our chooks for 4 weeks now and I have wasted a huge amount of time just watching them. They are so endearing and so comical! We have them in a large enclosed run and they all do their chicken things all day, but boy does the mood change when we go anywhere near the run Loads of...

Congratulations! We had our first egg on Tuesday and another yesterday, both from our Bluebell called Aggy. What a clever girl
We are planning on having one each on toast for breakfast in the morning

I have Verm-X too and have just popped a dose of the pellets in their food bowl for the first time. Will it matter if I follow the packet instructions and add to their food for the next two days, even if there might be some left in the bowl still? Am I in danger of giving them an overdose ??

Many thanks. How often should I give it??

I have just had got some cider vinegar and just wondered what the dosage should be and how often?
The bottle gives me dosage amounts for horses which isn't particualry helpful!
Any guidance would be much appreciated....

Congrats on your first egg. I have posted on the forum too today as we had our first one this afternoon. Quite small but nonetheless very exciting!! We have 4 hens but don't know which one laid. probably Hetty or Aggy as they both have quite red combs and faces now and Aggy goes into a low crouch wh...

Hi all, Colin found our first egg this afternoon on the floor of the coop. They had all been in there scratching around earlier on and making a right mess of all the lovely clean woodshavings I put in this morning. They even had a go at the nest boxes, throwing all the woodshavings out. Anyway, we h...

They are named after my two Nan's, I just couldn't resist it. Both my Nan's are dead now, so I thought it was a fitting tribute to them!!
Dorothy Agnes and Muriel (Maud) Hetty......both lived into their 90's and I am sure they would have approved..

Hi all, pics of our girls and their home! Hope this works as this is the first time I have done it!!


They are Hetty (white), Dolly (brown), Aggy (Grey) and Maud (black)

Thank you for your responses, and maybe a really stupid question, but how do I post a photo?
Do I need to reduce the size of the file?
If you could let me know, I already have loads of fab pics for you.... [/img]

Hi, I have just registered with the forum but have been using it for information for a few weeks. Many thanks for all the valuable postings. We have 4 Point-of-Lay's hens which we have had for 3 weeks but no eggs yet! They are in a fabulous enclosure (built by the better half) and seem very settled,...
