I used to feed our chickens a mash made of oats and maize flour and any vegetables that needed using up, cooked with water for a while until soft. They also loved chick weed, which used to grow rampantly on my vegetable garden the moment my back was turned.

[Hidden in reply to Ergendl]

Chicken weed....takes me back down memory lane.

Bless you daring.

My grandmother always fed her chucks on stale bread soaked in water and corn...but they were very poor. My neighbours hens have fresh veg, dried meal worms and chicken food as well as scratching for their own titbits. .....expensive eggs.

Hi Knitter

my Grandma and granddad used to have a small farm, and when I was little I used to stay with them in my school summer holiday.

Very Happy days..... I will never forget The thrill of being sent to the hen house to collect the eggs for our breakfast......My Granddad teaching me to fish for trout in the near by river...Back to the farmhouse where we gave the cats the minnows and had the trout for lunch....My granddad would shoot a pheasant or rabbit for our evening meal, followed by blackberry and apple pie for pud...all the fruit picked by me and my grandma from the trees and bushes.

No Telly, no computers, no smart phones, no internet, no junk food, just a wonderful childhood, and now, wonderful memories.

sounds lovely to grow up like that , sadly nearly all the little farms like that have gone round here now all the barns cows yards been put into housing , the farm I use to help on as a kid is all houses now , he use to bottle the milk by hand straight from the cows and sell round the village , when he had bottled enough he use to give me a jug to take to the farm cats it was still warm from the cow I use to drink half the jug then top it up with water so looked like a full jug so much better than milk now

[Hidden in reply to mmzetor]

Sounds like something I would of done....why should the cats get all the cream.

Semi skinned more healthy for them..He he.

You naughty boy !!I

forgot to mention, I taught myself to swim in that trout river and made a good job of it, a few years later I swum competitively up to England level...packed it all in when I was 16 years old, I had to make a choice...swimming or boy friends and mad nights out with my mates having fun.

Well you all know me by now....the swimming had to go !!!!

Nostalgic Velvet xx

[mmzetor in reply to velvet55]

well done with the swimming ,do you sometimes regret that you didn't carry on the swimming ,

[velvet55 in reply to mmzetor]

Not a bit...I met the future Mr velvet when I was 16...best thing I ever done...50 years later we still love each other to bits.

Velvet xx

[mmzetor in reply to velvet55]

well done that's a long time

[Hidden in reply to velvet55]

Velvet..again I go down memory lane. ...It was my first girlfriend who showed me where and how to tickle...For trout...

Sweet memories.

Andy😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[mmzetor in reply to Hidden]

I wondered where this was leading till I see trout lol

[velvet55 in reply to Hidden]

Hi Wedderburn

Lucky you...isn't it wonderful to have happy memories to look back on.

Velvet xx

[Hidden in reply to velvet55]

Yes it is....We don't remember them until someone or something jogs our memory. ..I find this forum does that a lot with me.

It's hard to handle at times.

Andy.

[mmzetor]

looking good and healthy Andy maybe when you go to the market you could ask the bloke you bought them from where best place is to get it from they would be better if you can get layer pellets or layers mash as has right protein content for making eggs as it does take a lot out of them laying a egg a day ,

[velvet55 in reply to mmzetor]

Ha Ha, you two and your chucks....' taking it out of them laying an egg a day ' My goodness, be careful they don't over do it !!

Hope you feed your wife as good....it must take it out of her just doing the normal chores a wife does every day !!

Power to the wife Velvet xx

[mmzetor in reply to velvet55]

ha ha mr velvet must have got you trained better than I have her she is laying in bed watching tv I even have to get my own cup of tea and breakfast , he must pass on some tips to me

[velvet55 in reply to mmzetor]

You be careful, like your chucks...don't over do it.

I hope you have taken her breakfast in bed.

Velvet xx

[mmzetor in reply to velvet55]

[velvet55 in reply to mmzetor]

[Hidden in reply to velvet55]

She brilliant.

Thank God I got something right.

[Hidden in reply to mmzetor]

Looked on the net and found a back street shop...couldn't believe it was in the city and close to us.

Got food and the right containers post photos later...still out shopping.

I had to put a night light for them

Last night they wouldn't settle.

They were okay after that.

[Hidden in reply to mmzetor]

You know. .that was the very first thing I asked him ( trough my girlfriend) I could tell by the look on his face he didn't have a clue..

But he told her of somewhere about 60 kilometres from here.

People who sale at this market can come from a hundred miles away. ...

I used to love my 4 pet hens when I was a teenager (WW2) They were so tame and all had their own personality. Then one night, the fox got in ----I can still recall the noise that went on. Big sadness. X
