***UPDATE - these ladies and their rooster have been reserved pending donation and photo approval - thank you everyone for sharing and sorry to anyone we haven’t managed to get back to yet ***CAN YOU OFFER THEM A HOME? 🏡

We have 5 lovely girls and their elderly rooster looking for a forever home. Unfortunately their lovely owner was moving house and couldn’t take them with her so they’ve come to us to find a new home. These girls are around 2.5 years old and Peggy the rooster (originally thought to be a boy!) is a 9 year old Pekin bantam. Peggy has been handled by children and has proven to be a lovely sweet boy the last few weeks we’ve had him.

The girls have been laying beautiful eggs and are very sweet. If you think you could offer them a home, please get in touch and drop us a message 📩. The usual donation of £2.75 plus some photos of your coop to ensure it’s safe for these guys will required 🙏🏻🫶🏼.

****📣 Any chicken people who are also horse people, please complete and share if you can! 📣**** 🐔 🐴

I am conducting research into management of laminitis as part of my veterinary degree at the University of Liverpool and I would really appreciate it if anyone who has any experience of caring for a horse with laminitis could complete it and share 🩺 ✅ . We want to hear your experiences and opinions - this is a great chance to raise what you felt was good and bad about your vets management or advice, and who else you found most helpful when your horse or pony experienced laminitis! Hopefully this research will be published and presented so please share your feelings/experiences if you feel able to!

I am trying to collect as many responses to help our future understanding of this terrible disease. Even if you can’t complete it, sharing would help massively 🙏🏻.

If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch with me directly 📩 or alternatively you can use the contact details in the survey if you’d prefer 📑.

Has your horse or pony ever had laminitis?

Horse owners and carers - we're inviting you to take part in our survey investigating approaches to treatment and rehabilitation of laminitis in horses and ponies. The study is being undertaken by undergraduate student Meg as part of her University of Liverpool veterinary degree. As every case of laminitis is different, we are keen to hear about your experiences of laminitis and its management. If you would like to participate (the questionnaire is completely anonymous), please click on the link below or scan the QR code in the image and read through the information sheet before completing the online survey.

Thank you in advance for participating - it really helps improve our understanding of this important area of equine health.

One of our followers is looking for a home for these 3 beautiful boys. They are gold laced Barnevelders and are around 3 months old. These boys have been hand reared, are very friendly and would make a lovely addition to any flock 🐔. Please get in touch if you think you could offer any of them a home 📧 📱.
