Pferdefan questioned:

I have an ancient history chicken (a German breed called a Blau Sperber). I reflect she is about 10 now. She is subdue fit and healthful and even if she never really laid many eggs, subdue produces and odd shaped modest business now and then.
I have 6 chickens in total, but no cockerel. The others are a motley crew of rescued battery birds, ill-treated ones and 2 childish top of lay hybrids.
They have access to an wood of about half an acre which they impart with my 2 ancient rescued sheep, but have all learnt to hop owing to the fencing and parade around the total farm.
I feed diverse corn, oyster bombard and layers pellets,and they pick up all else outside.
Don’t anyone dare say “until I ring her neck” or some no matter what. My birds are pets and not commercially kept animals.
They only place here when they have to be place down, or die of natural causes!
