Good Afternoon all.
This is my first post on this site, and I am looking forward to many discussions and picking up tips from you all.
I am getting some chickens for my garden. I have a house and am in the process of building a run. Hopefully, I will have some hens in there by the end of the weekend. What best tips could you give an absolute beginner?
Do chickens mind the rain? We are having so much of it down here (I live in abingdon, but not affected by the floods) so was wandering if I had to do anything special to protect them? Or do they just get on with it?
I want to be organic, but am struggling to find anywhere that sells organic chicken feed and corn. Any tips?
I look forward to chatting with you all.
Cheers,
Ian.
