1 man and his chickens

[the chicken doctor]

I live in the United Kingdom and Im a father and a grandfather and I’m a retired baker of 27 years I’m now indulging full time in my life’s passion of chickens. I have around 70 chickens mostly elderly (6 and a half years old) I’ve rescued over the years. Current Breeds are bovine goldline (brown egg layers) white leghorns with some Cuckoo Maran,s and a few Blackrocks. I currently have 4 chickens sitting on a total of 44 eggs due to hatch out from August the 9th 2018 and my incubator is set ready to receive 48 amber white eggs. I have a small plot of land and chickens are my passion. I’ve attendend several courses on chickens and hold certificates in chicken welfare and management. I’ve learned many tips and tricks over the years from some experts in chicken keeping. If i can freely offer any advice on any aspect of chicken keeping you only need ask.

And the Bigger they get the more they eat. My elderly girls have just started their moult and were in 90 degree heat in the U.K. the older they get the earlier they moult. Last year was second week in August
