Rescuing chickens: what I wish I’d known

Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Earlier I noticed blood on an egg. I inspected all the girls and found Bonnie had partially prolapsed. Thankfully not bad enough that the other girls had noticed, but in we swooped. She came inside for a bath to clean her, and I managed to get everything back in - so far it’s staying in. (A finger up the vent makes you close to a chicken). Everything seems ok as I write this and she’s back fast asleep with her sisters, but I’m prepared for any challenges tomorrow and have done my reading. New and unexpected chicken-keeping challenges. I did say the good life wasn’t easy...! #chickenkeeping #rescuehens #chickens #homesteading #chickensofinstagram #chickensofig #bhwt #thegoodlife
Thanks for all of your lovely comments on our last post. I thought I’d show you the back area, the work in progress, which you can’t see in the photo. Three years ago (swipe ➡️) our allotment was an overgrown mass of grass and brambles. Over the last month ‘him outdoors’ has worked so hard using reclaimed wood to make the top into beds with a border. We need a lot of wood chip now, but the middle square has some rhubarb I’ve put in, and then the back is becoming a nature area. Lots of flowers for bees and butterflies. And we already have newts in the pond! #allotment #allotmentlove #allotmentlife #myhappyplace #forthebees #instanature #volkstuin #homesteading #gardenlife #growsomethinggreen
Oh April, we’re getting there! I’m so proud of where we’re at currently. Yes, the back needs finishing, and there’s one bed left to prepare. But we have worked SO hard to get it ready for Spring, and made so much progress at the back of the plot. I just need some plants now! 🙈💕 #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentlove #allotmentgarden #allotments #allotmenteer #getoutside #volkstuin #gdnbloggers #myhappyplace #homesteading #moestuin #kitchengarden
Monday evening at the plot - something was clearly hilarious. But may I always find this much happiness from a little piece of land. I’m meant to be showing you the tulips 😂. Here’s to warm summer evenings being able to enjoy outside after work 💕 #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentlove #getoutside #lovethesimplethings #livethelittlethings #livesimply #girlswhogarden #myhappyplace #instagardeners
So today I stopped and looked down at our olive trees. And we have actual olives, that look like olives and everything! Mind well and truly blown. I was just pleased they survived the snow 🙈 #mymonthontheplot #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentlove #olivegarden #olives #organicgardener #kitchengarden #girlswhogarden #livesimply
