What a dreadful experience!! I wonder who owns the company - there's usually a big company behind these shoddy set ups that are often just a front to make a quick buck. In a year or so they'll be rebranded to hide this crap company.

I'm so sorry about your hens Neil and Lynn - it's so sad to lose creatures of whatever type that become part of our families. Glad about your new job Neil - is that why you're thinking about moving? I hate it - I don't like change at all and just can't see it as an adventure like some are able. I know so many people who are moving and several with new jobs (myself included). Must be the time of year for it.

I'm sorry about all the problems you're having and that 3 of the girls have died. I've lost all but 4 Silkies (out of 42) Moving sounds like a nightmare, but ya gotta do, what ya gotta do.

I know I've not been on for sooo long, I really am sorry. Seems like every time I post here I apologise for not posting and saying there's a lot going on... but there really is. Started a new job, longer commute but really enjoying it - so that's good - just been having to get my head down and learn new stuff and work hard. Had some awful times with my car too - if you want to read about it, have a look in the "spammers and bad people" section of the forum... Also, over the last 6 months we've lost several hens :( Olga died of suspected heart failure. Ariel just died in her sleep :( Found her one morning slumped on the perch. Velma had a phlegmy cough then just died. Renee got a huge infection in her eye - not sure ...

This is the email I've just sent BBC Watchdog - they also covered this horrible company. I've just watched your report on Servicing Stop and I'm emailing to let you know of my recent experience with them - I actually fear that your excellent report only scratches the surface regarding their bad practices. I have a modest car (a smart Roadster) - it is (was) my pride and joy - I've owned it for 7 years and love it's quirky looks and sportiness. I always had it serviced by a well-known smart independent mechanic but he injured his arm earlier this year so said he wasn't able to carry it out. So I booked my car with Servicing Stop - the prices looked good and the convenience of having the car picked up and dropped of after was great -...

Haha thank you - and I love the term embuggerance!! My dad did say "right we'll be off then!" and start heading towards and opening the door with Piper in his arms So I have to post this video. It's cuteness in the extreme!! Bea is the nervier chuck, but once she's in your arms she immediately falls asleep and cuddles...it's pretty damn adorable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8BzeWtgPC0

I'm so glad you had a fab day despite feeling crap, Red; you're so strong in the way you won't let this embuggerance beat you. I knew they'd love the girls...and the meeces. Did you check their bags/pockets before they left for contraband beasties? And Lyle - yes, sorry mate; mannequin you ain't!

Yeah, they breed a lot of chickens and it's where Mrs P came from, so hopefully they got her right!! My parents surprised us by asking if we wanted them to come up yesterday! It was bad timing because I woke feeling awful, but we said yes and I swallowed a load of pain pills and meds to help me sleep, so when they arrived I felt somewhat human We had a great day though! We went to a museum, walked around a deer park, ate out (my first time in forever!) and they came to see the chucks afterwards. I had a few more seizures than normal, thanks to being ill on top of a busy day, but the bits that were good more than made up for it! I did have my first ever seizure at a museum - came to on the floor of the archaeology room with my par...

Oh well done...can't remember her name, Ollie, sorry! She'll be fine as long as she looks out for idiot motorists - the first time I was knocked off my motorbike was the last - I was extremely wary of motorists after that. Congratulations to her...

Nursie Piper should be given a little frilly cap and an apron with a cross on the front... Isn't she sweet? I hope she helped you feel a little better. I wouldn't think Bea is a boy...did the people you got her from know their chicks? Was it where the Hencam girlies came from?

I've been worrying that Bea's a boy because of that long tail feather Don't think she is though. Although her comb's redder than Piper's, I think she's a bit older and, for her age, it's teeny! She'd also probably be trying to crow by now, but I like to worry haha...if she did end up being a roo I'd be so sad having to swap her for someone else!!! Last pic shows how they sleep too!!! We collected some branches from the forest a few days back and they're a huge succes :D

Whenever we're eating, they run over and eyeball our food, acting as if they'll die if they don't have a bite. We offer it to them, they glare at it suspiciously, give it one peck, then turn their beaks away They're not even a huge fan of dried mealworms! I'm starting to think they're not really chickens Having said that they love live mealworms, darkling beetles (what mealworms turn into) and baby Dubia roaches (which we're breeding). Piper also had an adult Dubia (about 1.5 inches) and LOVED it, whereas Bea was scared and watched it making the "is this safe? Is this okay??" noise! They're about 14-16 weeks old, at a guess CC. Bea might be a bit older as her voice has just broken (she was honky when we got her though!!), whereas ...

Thanks both CC it's what I carry the treats in on walks, but normally the bag gets really slimy and disgusting and is a PITA to clean - this one I literally hold it under the tap for 5 seconds once every few days and it's good as new!! Really wish I could find them in the UK Crappy pic (roll on my birthdayfor a new phone!!!) but you can see me wearing it on my walking belt here :)

The first "Best" is having Red back on Hencam complete with chickens too! Second is my grand daughter has fought off her fear of riding motor bikes on the road after her accident and passed the required driving test with no faults. Then bought herself a 600cc motor bike!

Chicken food fads are a mystery, Red. Someone told me theirs go mad for courgettes (bleurgh) so I cut a huge one in half and put it down outside. They have stood on it so far, and asked me if there's anything decent to eat, like a grape or an egg... Your chooks are so pretty, Red. How old are they? Not laying yet?

It works out to about £5 more per week, but I'm told I should be "glad of the opportunity". Looks like they're not replacing me, in fact it seems like they're taking it as an 'opportunity' to dismantle the team.

They haven't been up for a few months, I keep trying (especially now that because of my polarized ski goggles I can actually go into shops and DO stuff without seizures - I haven't been able to do for 18 months, so it's HUGE!!) but so far not yet. I swear mine are the only chucks that don't go crazy over food...they didn't like lettuce or cake?!?!?!?

They're flipping adorable CC!! Haven't had a day with them where I haven't cried whilst cuddling them yet, because it's so overwhelming and a dream come true!! We might go out to sunbathe occasionally, but that's all...not much point going out when it's just concrete out there!! It was really hard picking them out haha, up until the last minute we were going for Pekins, and then we suddenly switched to a Thuringian and a Black Barbu, and I'm so glad we did!!! Thanks Lynn!! I'm on a total high with my girls and Lyle (who has never had chickens before) is absolutely flabbergasted at what good pets they are!! He honestly can't believe it The girls have fully settled in now, and are the happiest chucks ever!!! They love rushing over to ...

Kate, we did have a drought last year, but this one is worse, we have broken our record for days without rain that was set in 1951 by 2 days now and no rain in sight..not that we can see very well with all the smoke blowing in from the terrible fires in BC. Canada. Don is having terrible breathing problems by the end of the day and our eyes are burning and watering every time we go out the door. If you know any prayers, please say them for the 37,000 people who have been evacuated from their homes in BC...pray we all get rain SOON.

After years of wishful thinking, and planning, it finally happened...we have chickens And in honour of my first chickens as an independent adult, I had to come post on hencam, right? Haha! These two are from the same place hencam's 'Pilkie' is from. We had the choice of Seramas, Silkies, Pekins, Black Barbus / Belgian Bantams and Thuringians. We went intending to get two Seramas, or possible a Serama and a Pekin...and we came back with a Thuringian and a Belgian Bantam They are still young (their voices are breaking!) so no expected eggs for a while. They are super super sweet and I've already had cuddles and cried over them haha! The black girl is Bea and the white Piper They're wonderfully confident around humans already...

It's Amazon Prime Day! Time to stock up on stuff you don't really want...
I did manage to find a cheapish solar powered charger - hopefully it will save us some money as our electricity bills are 50% higher than the national average :( I suppose that's what you get for having a PC, 4 cameras and mic's running 24/7.
If you do want to go have a look on amazon, please use our links, it doesn't cost you anything but helps bring us a few pence if you order :)
Thanks :)
