Greetings from Hampshire, UK

Hi Everyone,

My wife and I started keeping chickens about 10 years ago. We had two Barnevelder hens that lived to the ripe old age of 9 before we went on holiday and the fox got to them!

We, and our 6 year old daughter Wren, got 12 eggs from a local farmer a few months ago and managed to hatch 9 of them! We sadly lost one early on and a couple have gone to new homes but we have 6 birds left. Hoping to identify breeds and gender with your help.

Mark

Hi Mark and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us.

You may wish to drop by the UK thread if you fancy a bit of mutual gloating on the summer we’ve had -
