Yes, it is a new responsibility for me, opening up for them every morning and closing them in every night, checking their food and water supplies and taking them treats, letting them out for strolls around the garden for up to an hour a day... But I love having chickens, at first we got an egg...

Sorry I didn't respond sooner, at the time I didn't know which breeds I wanted. We have a cendre, a sex links and a sussex, we are very happy with them.

I managed to find not only GMO free feed but it is also organic, so no chemicals used whatsoever. I'm happy to know that I can get it easily because I looked around at 4 places and when I couldn't find it I got worried. There is a co-op in the next village that stocks it so I don't have to...

Hubby put up the chicken run yesterday! It is 150cm high. I've read that I should keep the chickens in their coop for at least a week so they recognise their safe place and where to go to sleep each night, etc. So I will let them out next week into the run. The first night I had...
