Hi everyone, been lurking on this site last couple of days working up the courage to say hi, reading everyone's posts and looking at the gorgeous photos you all have of your chickens.
I'm in the UK, in Scotland and this is my first time raising chickens, my partner has had them before we met when he worked on a big estate, But this is a first for me. We have recently moved to a more rural area and our landlord has agreed to let us keep some chickens up in the old chicken pen. So for the last couple of weeks we have been hammering fixing and building awaiting the arrival of our new babies, who arrived last Friday.
We have 2 Bovans Nera's, 1 Bovans Goldline and a Sussex Star. We then a day later acquired a maran x cockerel to look after the girls for us. He is a stunner, they all are gorgeous though. All were very timid and hid in their coop until the boy arrived the next day and since that moment, when they all ran out to meet him, they have stuck together like glue.
