I am new to Backyard Chickens. I run a wild bird rescue near Manchester and my first chicken was a baby silkie cockerel that I called Dixie. He was brought up with a pigeon and they were the best of friends. As Dixie got older and developed his crow I got him a girlfriend so he wouldn't be lonely, then more chickens and now I have around fourteen.

As a rescue we get chickens in. I've had Baldy Bum who is a rescue and doesn't have many feathers. I have Tina and Bitsie who are Polish and were raised as show chickens but when they had neurological issues they weren't wanted. I also have Bluebell a speckeldy who came to live with me after a dog killed her friend.

I have read a lot of books on chickens but am really new so just looking for somewhere to read, ask questions and meet other chicken loving people. x
 
I am. Manchester, England just outside of a town called Bolton!
The polish are adorable. Tina is just beautiful and follows me around. Do you trim the feathers round their eyes regularly?
 
I’m over the other side of the Pennines as you can probably tell by my username :D

Certain ones of my polish I do trim regular so they can see better. It also helps keep their eyes clear and you can examine them better.

Pop by and say hello on the U.K. thread if you get chance ~
