Wow, thanks everyone for such a warm welcome, I'm so glad I came and said hi now!
Unfortunately I only my Alfred by himself as he's not a very well chicken, I've had such a rough time with him recently and the vet diagnosed him with malabsorption syndrome, it's left him with rickets so he doesn't walk very much and she warned me any companions I buy might pick on him
It's tough because I have my heart set on a big flock, does anyone here know if it would be good/bad? Might warrant a seperate post in the health section - good job I have this place!
