When I was a kid back in the UK, my neighbour had a Dobie. She was my first dog crush

This was my first dog crush that got me hooked on them.

Welcome Chrissy we are glad you joined. There is lots of wisdom here to learn from.
Hints
Don't overcrowd them.

Get familiar with what foods are feeding no-no's for chickens.

Make sure coop is adequate size and ventilation .

Thanks, @Happy hen lover

I am seeking an opinion regarding my proposed setup. I am looking at an Eglu Go Up with a 2-metre run and 12-metre fence for 3-4 silkies. I wondered if this was big enough or whether I should get the Eglu Cube?

Rule is 1 foot per chicken on roost, coop space 2-3square feet per bird, run 10 foot per bird. I don't know metrics sorry

Hi! I Australian too!!

Tips for keeping chickens:

I don't know if anyone else does this but every now and then I put some Apple Cider Vinegar in their water, since I started to this I have only gotten one illness. She lived, thanks to @azygous, @Wyorp Rock and @Eggcessive (three incredible people)
