Hi I've recently moved to the countryside for a more slower and peaceful way of life and have inherited four chickens. I think they're just wonderful. So I'm very new to keeping chickens. Bit nervous, hoping I'm doing the right thing with them. They've been under my care for just two weeks and seem happy enough. I've got couple of books on hen keeping but talking to fellow chicken owners is much better. Think this website is fantastic. Have learnt a lot just by reading about treats chickens can have. Welcome any advice. First question is how do I know if they've been wormed and should I do it? Think they're about two years old.

Hello

Welcome to BYC. Anything and everything you ever wanted to know about poultry can be found here!

Do they free-range or stay in a coop/run? What are you feeding them?
