Chickens!!

we have five hens and a clck...dont u just love fresh eggs..;-)

We don't have any chickens, wouldn't want to risk it as we have a pair of regular fox visitors, but have a friend who does and have to agree nothing better than fresh eggs.
Well done giving those poor ex-battery hens homes, remember seeing pictures of some on another website I go on poor things were such a state,with hardly any feathers, but in just a few months they look wonderful, opened my eyes, only buy free range eggs now :-)

Agree well done for saving those chicks, looking forward to seeing photos of them, and welcome to GOY.

I'd love some chooks but dont think the housing assoc. will let me!! Look forward to the photos - it is lovely what you have done well done!

genuisscuffy - we live in housing assoc house. We did email to ask permission and we aressured them that we wouldnt be getting a cockerel, so there would be no noisey disturbances! Also if you're worried about your neighbours, you can let them know they can have yummy fresh eggs at a cower price than the supermarkets and any fellow gardening neighbours can have a share of chicken manure! Neighbours, family and friends payment for the eggs, is great to go towards their food, equipment etc :) Ask, and you never know... fingers crossed....

yep sandra, there is no taste like it!! even a totally different colour to shop eggs, more orange/yellow, yum!! :)

Simbad, they do break your heart, but so good to see them become real chickens right before your eyes!! :)

Clarice, my OH kev is busy sorting out the pics so they are easy to get to to put on here so watch this space! Thank you for your message :)

That sounds great Emma you can't beat free range eggs lovely:0)) I sent you a pm.
