Hi this one was from a local young man just up the road from me in Lancaster and my other pollish was bought from a breeder in Singleton from a place called manor farm poultry.

aww I've herd of the farm.. I'm essex based just about to get some silkies and polishes. I've built a run around 16m2 with a hen house that's designed for 8 birds... how many in a design that size do you think would fit happy and comfortable x

The only thing is, the chicken house's state 8 birds but probably wouldnt fit even 8 bantams.  Saying that I have 7 (3 silkies, 3 milliefluer & 1 polish) and they choose to all go into the same house/coop at night and squeeze in lol so I sold my second coop for this reason. Now the only problem I have a broody silkie and the others wont lay anywhere else and only only laying box, so I am always taking out the broody hen, How many was you thinking of getting?
