Hello Everyone,
My name is Emma, I am 26 and I am a mum of two lovely angelic girl (okay maybe not so angelic). But they are my life .
This is my second time around keeping chickens.. the first time i had 4 layers 2 were ex battery hens.. I loved them and and so did the children,they became a part of the family, Gill (the escape artist), Susan (the trouble maker) Henrietta (the posh bird), and Bertha (the shy one). Unfortunately they were all killed by foxes and the kids were really upset. So i kinda got put of keeping chickens.
But now I seem to have rescued 1 cockerel and 7 hens from being killed because their owner no longer wanted them. They are yet to have name but i am sure as we get to know them they will have names soon. They have only been with us since last night (27/11/2012). As the owner no longer wanted them I have reclaimed their old coup and jet washed it all down and fixed it. Tomorrow is going to be a big day as I will be building them a Fox proof run.
It was really nice this morning to go out side and say good morning and let them free in the garden to have a scratch about.. The cockerel is Stunning thankfully he has not started cocka-doodle-doing
