Bonjour from France

[debjs]

We retired to France 3 years ago, there was a ready made run and henhouse on the property so it seemed rude not to have hens. We have 13 hens and a cockerel. The girls are a mixed bunch, some pure Brahmas, Brahma crosses, and a couple of Marans, the cockerel was saved from the pot and is the strangest looking bird, he's a CouNou cross and looks like he's wearing a ginger wig! We started out with rescued ex-battery girls but this will be the first year we've had to deal with potential broody hens and all that goes with that. Looking forward to raising a few chicks and feel sure I'll have lots of questions.

Welcome! What part of France are you in? My friend lives there, with houses in Sables d'olonne and in a village near Rodez.

Show us a picture of the cockerel!!
