Cochin-Pekin a beautiful breed with a dark and tragic history. At the height of the Cochin Craze in 1853, one bird in England sold for today's equivalent of £188,000 - $260,481. In the US a similar contagion 'Hen Fever' also known as 'The Fancy' swept the country. Enthusiasts and commercial breeders alike, on both sides of the Atlantic, waited eagerly at the docks as the fast clippers came in with a new cargo of Cochins. In the early days, before the prices began to rise, getting stock out of China was not that simple, the birds were subjected to the rigours of the voyage, which included typhoons, pirate attacks and being neglected and cooped up on shipboard for months. They also risked being cooked and eaten by the crew who had no interests in the profits to be made at the ports and viewed the Cochins purely as a potential dinner. All this danger probably made the Cochin the magnificent creature it is today!

All those inedible twigs and branches can be stocked in a wire frame and broken down over the Winter to create a habitat for invertebrates and a hibernation site for hedgehogs et al. In the Summer this will be ready to turn over to your poultry and you can recuperate the remaining dried twigs for a rocket stove. The frame is easily constructed from reinforcing bar and sheep netting. #MakingLeafMould #FreeOrganicPoultryFood #OrganicChickens My sites: The Holistic Hen: https://holistic-hen.blogspot.com/ which also includes written articles to accompany each film plus stand alone ones as well. https://simplyorganicrecipes.blogspot...

A rabbit was left on our doorstep by a friend whilst we were out, she had been unable to treat its injured paw on her own. This is new territory for me but with the aid of my trusty aromatherapy book, basic bunny psychology garnered from observation and having had a pet rabbit as a child, we managed to repair the rabbit! I used my usual anti-microbial wash made from organic essential oils and a poultice of green clay. #RabbitPawInjury #OrganicTreatmentInjuries #Greenclay&EssentialOilsRabbits My sites: The Holistic Hen: https://holistic-hen.blogspot.com/ which also includes written articles to accompany each film plus stand alone ones as well https://simplyorganicrecipes.blogspot...

It is a very different experience purchasing a new bird to having one suddenly appear and for you to rehome it, in particular when this is a cockerel or young rooster. That said, just adding a new bird of any description or provenance can cause problems within the dynamics of an established flock, so what is relayed here can be just as relevant to a planned or unplanned purchase. We take 'Scott' through his first few days here, to his unexpected escape into the forest garden and his final formal introduction to the flock. There is a detailed written article to accompany this film: https://holistic-hen.blogspot.com/2020/08/introducing-new-bird-to-established-flock.html#.XypfC3cv6V4 #Rehomingchickens #Silkie #Organicforestgardenpoultry My sites: The Holistic Hen: https://holistic-hen.blogspot.com/ which also includes written articles to accompany each film plus stand alone ones as well https://simplyorganicrecipes.blogspot...

Es una experiencia muy diferente comprar un nuevo pájaro que recibir un pájaro de repente para readopción y tratar de agregarlo a su rebaño, en particular cuando se trata de un gallo joven. Dicho esto, solo agregar un nuevo pájaro de cualquier descripción o procedencia puede causar problemas dentro de la dinámica de una parvada establecida, por lo que lo que se transmite aquí puede ser tan relevante para una compra planificada o no planificada.
