I'm fairly new to all this... (keeping Chickens I mean!) I rehomed 3 hens back in November and now I have 4 ten week old black rock youngsters that one of my hens hatched out back in May... I didn't realize back then that Black Rocks don't breed true, however they are beautiful ... and all have different markings... and one is definitely a cockerel... I do live in a village but im not sure how long it'll be after he starts crowing that the neighbors will complain... so he might have to be rehomed...
I have a Barnvelder, Speckledy and a White Sussex.... and I am hooked on Chickens
Unfortunately I have not yet worked out how to load images from my ipad to these forums ... but I do have a blog:
http://chickendayz.blogspot.com/
Which has plenty of photo's..
My big girls live in an Eglu Cube and the 4 youngsters live in a classic eglu ( both bought second hand on eBay!) and they have full range of my garden although they are separated at the moment until the little-uns are of a similar size to the others to hopefully give them a better chance of integration...
I am a mother of 2 (13 yr old daughter and 5 yr old son) and i'm lucky enough to be a stay at home mum... my partner has surprisingly gotten much more into chicken owning than cat owning... he dislikes the cat intensely.... but she's a great mouser so she earns her keep! ;D We also have a Spingador (cross between a chocolate Labrador and springer spaniel) and there are murmurs of a new dog to be added to our family...
I have already put my mind at rest many times with the help of all you wonderful people here on BYC and I thank you for all your help so far... Alexandra.... (Alex to her friends.... and that means all you guys!xx)
