Rearing chickens can be a rewarding experience when fresh, free-range eggs are on the table in the morning. However, maintaining a pest-free home for our feathered friends is an ongoing challenge for all of us. To create a healthy environment for chickens, we need to ensure that pests are kept out of the coop to provide the best space for your feathered friends to live. It can be a challenge to nurse chickens back to health after a pest invasion, so ensuring you know how to tackle pest problems before they occur can significantly help.
Obesity, the sadly common condition that we are beginning to see more frequently in pets, and it is the most common nutritional disorder to be seen in dogs.

Shetlands as we all know are small and hardy animals, who are particularly popular as children’s ponies, companions or even pets due to their lovable characteristics.

However, due to this, when they are granted access to lavish grassland, it is common for Shetlands to become quickly overweight.
It can be very rewarding when you are able to encourage the feeding of wild birds in your garden, but this is also greatly appreciated by the birds themselves.
