Hello from Cheshire UK

[Den1959]

Good morning all.
I live in the UK and have been keeping pet chickens and ducks for approximately 10 years.
We started off with Orpington’s and Bluebells but now keep only bantam breeds Pekins, Wyandotte and a couple of Silkies. We also have four male Call ducks.
As we all know unless you have kept chickens you will never know what unique personalities they have and there is of course the bonus of having fresh eggs.
Although I have dipped into this site for a long time, this is the first time I have joined. Thank you for having me.
Many of the people here will have far more experience of chicken keeping than I do, so I’m looking forward to learning more about these lovely creatures.

Thank you. The attached image was taken earlier this year so the girls have grown a bit since then. I have 14 hens in all but they wouldn’t all sit still for the photo. Will get some more images today.
Images taken this morning of some girls. The black Pekin is such a character. She has taken on the role of cockerel. When she comes out of the coop in the morning she climbs as high as she can and makes the funniest noise.
