Greetings from Ridgeway, South Carolina!
What part of UK are you in? I spent 3 years in Oxfordshire with the Air Force. Loved it! I started the coop last fall and got the chickens in April. Got 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Rhoade Island Reds, and 2 Barred Roks to start and added 2 Easter Eggers later. Thought I had 8 hens and then one by one they started to crow I had 3 roosters (1 Buff and 2 RIR). I have since added 4 Black Orpinton hens and I built a Roo-Cave to get the boys out of the coop and run with the girls (you can see this on my BYC page).
Have a great day and again, welcome to BYC!
Hi I'm also from uk Shoreham in West Sussex. Welcome. I got my first chickens in April this year. Two Bantam hens and a cock. Because of reading on this site I decieded to let them hatch three eggs. I now have two more hens and one more Cock. This site is addictive although I don't always write on it I spend hours reading.
