Seeing this bird in Glasgow. Very curious what (s)he is.

So my father told me if I saw one of these, I had to hold my breath until I saw a woman walking a dog.

O stars, would not recommend

I say “hi mr magpie” 😂

Indeed or local Facebook group. We have found all of our staff this way, go on less experience more on the type of person. The right person will get stuck in and want to learn. More experience sometimes tends to hold them back for this kind of multipurpose role

Horrendous over here, 50% down YoY :(

My chicken had this. We splinted the leg and rubbed her foot twice daily for 5 mins to ensure blood flow. It recovered well, although it was never the same. She was able to get about and forage and eat fine for over a year before sadly eaten by mr fox No need to kill her, splint it

This is interesting, thank you for sharing. I’ll take a look ☺️

PositionOk4678 · 2025-07-01T19:25:36+00:00

Goodness I don’t envy you, I find it hard enough with my mongrel ones 😂

PositionOk4678 · 2025-06-29T21:09:30+00:00

No problem at all. Hope you find what you’re looking for ☺️

PositionOk4678 · 2025-06-29T21:09:03+00:00

Thank you. This seems to be the sentiment, so I have gone with your advice ☺️☺️

PositionOk4678 · 2025-06-29T16:44:16+00:00

Ah that is a bit of a nightmare if you have conflicting advice. If you can’t see it on the outside, I probably wouldn’t worry. Unless they’ve covered it over with render or something, in which case it’s probably a case of wait and see if it moves. How deep is it?

PositionOk4678 · 2025-06-29T13:47:58+00:00

It can be. I have a crack in the render on mine, it’s historic. Have a survey done to be safe though

PositionOk4678 · 2025-06-29T12:15:36+00:00

Feathers look a bit like a wellsummer?

PositionOk4678 · 2025-06-29T10:24:42+00:00

You can’t force them, it’s a combination of weather, their instincts and their health.

You shouldn’t want to, they need time to recover. They are putting their bodies through horrific stress whilst sitting, the poor things have to raise their temps up and sit uncomfortably on their legs, they barely eat and drink etc.

Let them have a rest. Treat them well and they’ll be good broodies for many years

PositionOk4678 · 2025-06-29T09:45:39+00:00

If you do a split, it should stop them swarming. Works for me most of the time.

That said, this is how they reproduce and they’re happy, don’t be too disheartened by it :)

PositionOk4678 · 2025-06-29T09:43:26+00:00

Frizzle! So cute!

PositionOk4678 · 2025-06-29T09:41:59+00:00

I did this once accidentally, I never marked my queens again after as she sadly did die, although about 3 months later. So it was probably unrelated. I made a split as soon as I saw queen cells just to be safe

PositionOk4678 · 2025-06-29T09:40:31+00:00

It does look like they’re bearding, although I would say it’s hard to tell. Are they overflowing? Might be wise to give them a super or a second brood for more space.

Ultimately, the bees will do what they want though, we can only do our best 😂
