@chickendup Looks like she needs the end of her beak trimming. They can grow excessively when they are confined. Beaks like nails grow and can be trimmed gradually.

@DanPBrown @hensforhire @sainsburys A shortage of eggs… driven by bird flu.. yes, but also rising feed and electricity has a big effect. Supermarkets are not increasing prices to farmers, so many cannot afford to produce eggs. Of course the answer is to pay a sensible price. Please support British Farmers.

.@sainsburys Can you explain why you’re selling imported eggs despite your commitment to sell only UK produced free range eggs?

@ThatVetSean @RSPBConwy @ChrisGPackham @BBCSpringwatch @BirdWatchingMag @Natures_Voice @britishbirds @Recordshotmyars I heard a cuckoo this morning and was incredibly happy about that... but your Nightjar is far better ;-)

Well here it is, possibly highlight of my birding career. Discovered a Nightjar sat on a plastic heron @RSPBConwy this morning. Can anyone beat that for unlikely bird & crazy location? @ChrisGPackham @BBCSpringwatch @BirdWatchingMag @Natures_Voice @britishbirds @Recordshotmyars

@CotswoldChicken Looks great!

Wow this is big!!
