I live in Wales....out in the sticks in mid Wales....between Brecon and LLanfair ym Muallt (OK....Builth Wells....but the Welsh name is so much nicer). I was born and raised in the Black Country West Midlands.near Birmingham.
I've been using this lovely forum for quite a while. Great advice, friendly folk.....only wish we could do some trans Atlantic egg swaps.
I keep quite a lot of chickens....I have around 60 at the moment......I refuse to do an accurate count. Don't laugh, I'm getting one egg a day (Too old, too young, broody,moody, with chicks, moulting, male....they have all the excuses in the book). I love them all though.....huge Brahmas, Naked Necks, La Flèche, and mixes of these and a few odd others. Don't laugh (again) in that I sell hatching eggs and chickens from time to time.....not when I am getting one egg a day though!
My 'spoilt brats' free range over as much of 40 acres as they want to use, but, in practice they usually hang out between the agricultural shed, where they steal sheep food, their coops, where they sleep and the back door....constantly begging for food.
Great to know that Uk users are on this site and helping to add to the global chicken soup.
