Hi everyone, I'm Em from the Uk and I am so excited to have aquired six new members of our family.....chickens! I have done tons of research, however, I have found most conflict. I think the best advice anyone can gain is from those who actually have chickens. Hopefully I can pick up some help and advice on this whole new adventure from this site.
I collected my girls on Wednesday all ranging from 16-19 weeks and I have one of each of the following:- Goldline, Bluebell, black copper maran, white leghorn, speckledy and a Nera. Today our Goldline presented us with her first small egg! I cannot wait until the others join in too.
My first question will be to do with feeding, I have them on layers pellets and have got some mixed corn as an afternoon treat but I am still learning what else I can treat them to without poisoning them! Also my leghorn is pulling out some feathers and the Bluebell is eating them hmmm strange choice of food!!
I'd love to hear from anyone who can help me learn more about being a good chicken owner
