Hello from a newbie

[ydnew]

I have just joined! I had 2 blue marans (bluebells), Brenda and Dory, for my birthday. They live in an Eglu, which we picked up 2nd hand in the autumn, but we waited for spring to arrive before getting the residents. We are keeping them for pets with bonus eggs. Although we had a few chickens 14 years ago, it wasn't a great success (foxes had them) so this time I am determined to get it right! I am looking forward to learning and getting lots of hints, tips and advice from this community

Hello and welcome! The Eglu looks cute, also nice and sturdy.

Hi from Yorkshire UK

Glad you could join the flock! Congrats on Brenda and Dory I've seen the eglu and they look great!! Being predator proof is one of my top tips too. I lost my flock due to a fox attack too thinking I was safe and I clearly was not.
Be sure to ask any questions you may have, everyone here to help and very friendly.
Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat

Welcome to BYC you may want to check out the predator threads to see how you can secure your coop and runs. Everything loves chicken and will keep coming back after they've successfully gotten a meal.
