Hi everyone,

My name is Jacqueline. I recently acquired 2 wee chooks (my parents next door neighbour moved house and abandoned them). I have never kept chooks before and it has been a total culture shock to me, my partner, Paul and our 3 kids......but especially to our border collie!!!

My girls are called Mrs Brown and Miss Daisy and they are amazing!

I'm so happy to join your wee community and look forward to many blethers about our chooks.

Best wishes

Jacqueline
