Cleaning in todays heat was hard 😩

Settled already and enjoying their holibobs 🌞🏖️
Watching ducks is so relaxing 💛 I wonder what they’re saying to each other?! 🫶🏼🦆
Sometimes we just need a girlie weekend away, don’t we?! 🤷🏻♀️🌸
That’s exactly what Edna, Lily and Phylis are doing 🙌 here for a mini break to enjoy some quality time together! I’ve even noticed they do like an early night so it’s all relaxation in this coop 😴
This trio were my first ever booking here at Hen Weekend, and I’m always so happy to see them back here with me 🐓 the best girlies 🫶🏼

I have the best job 🫶🏼🐓

Thankful Thursdays 🙌
I am thankful to the amazing Jane Howorth, founder of a charity that I just love so much 🐓
It’s thanks to her that so many of us have these wonderful creatures in our everyday lives. I honestly couldn’t imagine a life without my hens 🥹
Jane saved one, and now the MILLIONTH hen is not far away. She’s out there somewhere, dreaming of her forever home 🏠
Don’t worry girl, Jane has got you! And there’s an army of us behind her 💪🐓🥰

Let’s welcome our newest hen party 🥳

I can never say no to hens! I wonder how long it will take Wayne to notice 🤔😍😂
Your reminder for this weekend! 🌞
Please also remember to keep an eye on your hens, and look out for signs of over heating and fly strike 🪰
HEATWAVE 🌞🥵
Get the suncream out, and the beers in the fridge! We have some amazing weather this week (for a change)! BUT It’s important to keep an eye on our feathered ones when the sun comes out to play ☀️
Hens can easily overheat so here are some tips and things to look out for -
🐓 fresh cool water, hens like any animal need fresh drinks! You could even pop some ice in it to keep it cooler for longer and place it in the shade
🍹 make sure they have enough shade, you can create shady areas for them if needed
🐜 mites, these beasts can become out of control when temperatures rise so keep the coop clean and do regular checks
🌻 use sun cream on bald patches, especially if you have recently adopted some new hens
🍉 cool treats such as watermelon, cucumber (in moderation)
🌞 All these little things will help and your hens will thank you for it! We all want happy hens 🥰
‼️ avoid sweetcorn in hot temperatures as this increases their body temperature ‼️ sweetcorn should only be fed in colder months 🌽
Well done to Starzia Procter who won our latest giveaway 🙌🩷🐓 £50 voucher for Lillico Country Store and two bales of Dengie Horse Feeds, such amazing prizes! ENJOY 🙌
Thank you so much to all that took part, liked, shared and followed! BIG thanks to Lillico Country Store & Dengie for supporting the hotel! 🏨
If you have any questions regarding Dengie Fresh Bed for Chickens or Lillico please message me, I’m happy to advise! 🐓
🩷 “Kat loves” at Lillico Country Store 🐔
🛌 One of the most important factors when keeping chickens is their bedding, for many reasons! Us humans wouldn’t sleep on an uncomfortable mattress, so why should our birds?
😴 A good bedding should serve many purposes and Fresh Bed for Chickens does just that! My hens look so happy in their Fresh Bed, and the coop always looks so inviting, some of them even go to bed early just to get the best spot! 🤣
Lillico Country Store is my local Dengie Horse Feeds stockist 📍I always grab a bale every time I’m there! If you haven’t tried it, give it a go, it’s a total game changer 🐔

Come and do a worm count test kit with me from @westgatelabs 🐓🧫🧪🐛 I wanted to do this video to show you all how simple and easy it is to do this and also to explain why it’s important to test your flock regularly. This takes me less than 10 minutes to complete and gives me a great insight into my hens health, we all know how great they are at hiding things 🐓 So don’t be fooled - just because you can’t see worms in your flocks droppings, doesn’t mean your hens don’t have some unwanted visitors 🐛 and left untreated can cause illness and discomfort to your girls 🤒 All animals can get worms and hens are no different. Worms are primarily transmitted through poultry droppings. One hen poos, another will peck, walk through it and spread the droppings without a care in the world! The ingested worms then attach themselves to the lining of the hens gut and the direct life cycle begins 🔁 These worms lay thousands of eggs a day and drain your hens of vital nutrients! Testing gives you peace of mind that your birds aren’t carrying any unwelcome guests and that you have a happy and healthy flock 🫶🏼🐓❤️ Link below to purchase 👇🏼 https://www.westgatelabs.co.uk/services/poultry-bird-keepers/worm-egg-count-service/ . . . . . #ad #gifted #poultry #chickens #chickensofinstagram #chicken #backyardchickens #freerangechickens #hens #petchickens #hen #poultryfarming #backyardpoultry #chickenkeeping #hensofinstagram #homestead #poultryofinstagram #chickenlove #chooks #eggs #farmlife #fresheggs
Hens spreading joy in schools and nurseries 🐓🫶🏼💜 I’ve always said animals are therapy. Being around them can enhance your mood and increase a sense of wellbeing 🫶🏼 a hen is no different 🐓 I love to see the joy my hens bring to me shine through into the children. It’s so important to teach our young people about animal welfare, it teaches them compassion and empathy for all living things 🪴 *I have permission to use these photos and the nursery also sought permission from all parents before my visit* If you would like to know more about my workshops, please email [email protected] 📧 Poppets Parkwood
Let’s say hello to our first flock of March 🌿🌺🌸🌞 A mixed flock of 5 hens and 3 gorgeous ducks 🐓🫶🏼🦆 I just can’t wait to spend my days with these 🥰
My posts in general are hen related but we are duck lovers too! 🫶🏼🦆 Nothing gives me a nicer feeling than watching this 🥰
It’s a nice morning for a stroll 😘🐓❤️
Happy Gal-entines day to all those special ladies out there ❤️🐓😍🥰 we appreciate you 😍
“Making him a little cocktail after he’s told me I can’t have anymore chickens 😂🐓” *this was made for entertainment purposes only, I’m not really going to poison Wayne with bleach* 😂😂 I can’t stop laughing 😆
I’m sure we weren’t the only ones with frozen water bowls this morning ❄️🐓🦆 So cold!! But beautiful skies 🥹 Had to make a little TikTok! 🎥 We have lots in the pipeline here at Hen Weekend! I think the fame is getting to their heads 🤣🐓💕 Have a wonderful day ❤️
Most people don’t associate chickens with affection, but believe me they love to be loved just like any other animal 🥰 Hens are sociable animals and make the most wonderful companions! They love to be with people, especially those that care for them 💜 Having hens was the best decision I ever made 😍
