Hello
A year ago I became heir to 3 chickens as the people who had them were moving to accommodation without a garden. A week before I received the hens I read everything I could about keeping hens and my partner and I built a hen house and run. The chickens were at least 4 years old so we weren't expecting much but they all settled in beautifully and began to lay after 2 weeks. After 3 months we added 2 youngsters (9 months old) to our brood. We have now lost 2 of the older girls which was sad but inevitable and 3 weeks ago we got 3 rescue hens who are crazy but loveable. I'm learning all the time and I'm so glad to be part of this forum with all the great advice.
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
Sorry to hear you lost some of your original older girls.
I love hearing about people who rescue chickens. I did that once and they are my three best layers.
