I have just noticed one of my RIR has a large growth on the side of her head which is covering her eye - any one any ideas? I will phone the vet but don't hold much hope with what they say. The lump i softish and when moves the eye still looks ok.

sorry to hear about the strange growth on your chook

Hope it is nothing serious and it gets better soon, keep us posted with regards to what the vet says. Good luck

Thanks, I phoned the vet and asked their advice and they asked me to take her in. They are confident that it is a tumour and as it is so big leave it alone providing she is happy in herself, is eating and none of the others are attacking her or the lump. I think she may be about 4 years old and she has will have a happy and peaceful time here, however long she manages to go on.

I will need more layers pellets the week after next if that's ok?

Hi James glad to hear that your chook can just be kept comfy and see how she goes. Yes James you can have more layers (pellets) but we are off on holiday on 20th July so if you can let me know when suits I can sort that out before we go.

Ps is that what egglady was referring to .....layers pellets?

Hi Meebh

North East Fife is a bit far from Clackmannan - do you deliver and if so how much. And another question - would you give group discount on production of a membership card?

Hi sorry we can't deliver, too many children and commitments etc, can't sell them any cheaper either, sorry. We only buy layers in bulk to save me going out for feed as often and had an idea of anyone local or passing by could also have some. We don't intend to go for commercial wholesale.
My husband works in Dunfermline though if you would be interested in meeting him at his work to buy some that way.

Thanks for asking.
