Hi everyone,

I have been hankering after keeping chickens for a few years but could never afford the initial outlay...until I was unbelievably lucky a few weeks ago and got a lovely Eglu Cube on Freecycle!  So now I am researching into what breeds would suit us best.  So far we have decided we will have 4 large fowl and 2 bantams.

I haven't made a final decision as yet, but it's likely we'll have two Pekins, an Orpington, an Araucana, possibly a Wyandotte, and the last one TBA!  They will be confined to the run whilst I'm at work, but anytime that either me or hubby are at home they will be able to have the run of the garden.

 

Looking forward to getting to know people, and improving my chicken knowledge!

 

Tina :-)

:welcome: to ChickenChatter! 

 

Your plan sounds like a good one- just keep in mind that chickens are scratchers.  This time of year, they aren't so hard on the plants, but in the spring they can be murder.  Just watch those 'maters!
