Hi,

I just bought my first four chickens last week and am loving them!! I'm in the UK and the poor things are looking dismally at the rain we've had pouring down for the last week!!

I have a Black Rock, a White Star, a Light Sussex and a Speckledy, all aged 11 weeks or so.

Really looking forward to learning lots more about them and the best ways to care for them.

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan big_smile.png

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
