Mark : I am trying to locate a certain hybrid Bovan Gold in the Merseyside area or within easy travelling distance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maddie : Hi Gina, just a quick note about looking after a blind chicken.... two years ago I bred some chicks, one of which turned out to be blind! At first I was really concerned that she would not be able to survive but she is absolutely fine in with the other girls - five in all. I made sure none of them were bullying her or pushing her about (I removed one girl to another pen) and she stays in her pen which is large and full of grassy vegetation with the others. Of course there's plenty of food available and I never alter the food and water stations. She lays eggs as per usual and roosts with the other girls on a lower roost that's 2 inches off the floor. Needless to say I am very protective of her but she holds her own quite happily! Maddie W.A.
