A wonderful bird that I would recommend to anyone, wether it is your first time keeping chickens or if you are a seasoned pro, these hens are perfect. Sadly my original australorp died of a vent prolapse very young, but I now have a new girl in the flock who is SUCH a cutie! My previous girl...
Hi! I am lucky enough to own a Brinsea Mini Advance, which is fab. However, it only holds seven eggs at any one time. I really want to get a larger incubator but do not want to spend much money. I know everyone says that the words 'cheap' and 'reliable' never occur in the same sentence, but I'm...
Wow! That's a fab coop! It looks amazing! I love the fact that it looks great but doesn't compromise on ease of use. Well done to you and Cheryl! You've got some lucky chickens!
I am getting the chicks this evening!!!!! I just can't wait! I had never had silkies before, but reading and hearing people praising them I thought I'd HAVE to give them a try!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!
I am sooo excited! This Friday we are going to pick up our first ever silkie chicks! They are coming from a lovely breeder with the sweetest hens! We are getting one blue, one black, one splash and one white, but it may escalate to more... Does anyone have any Silkie-specific advice for me...

I have a couple of questions: How good a layer are they? and What...
After months of trying to find some olive eggers I have finally got some! They are surprisingly scarce in the UK. A week ago today we brought home three new pullets! They are welsumer x cream legbar - they look just like a wellie with a head tuft! They have THE most orange legs I have ever seen...
I love my cream leggie girls! They are just the sweetest things! When it's feed time in the morning, one of them always flies up onto my shoulder! But the most amazing thing about them is their productivity! None of them have ever had a day off, I can always find three beautiful blue/green eggs...
