Hi everyone, I joined this site a few nights ago when I was searching for a good method of keeping my run clean and came across the article and thread on using sand. I then had a good look round and realised that this is a site full of really good info so here I am
I am a 49 year old mother of two adult children who are both still at home after finishing University. I am single and loving it and I live in my own home with my daughters , two cats and 3 ex battery hens
I have a few hobbies besides keeping chickens which are , Gardening and allotment growing, Reading, Cross stitch embroidery and Walking
I live in Devonshire in England in a place that is close to the countryside and the beaches, its a lovely place to live, or at least it would be if it would only stop raining..lol...
I look forward to getting to know people here and picking up tips on how to keep my chooks happy. The sand idea is brilliant

Hi! I found this site when looking up things about my chicks also, and it has been terrific and very helpful ever since! So far my family has raised 3 chickens although sadly we have recently discovered that we will have to give away 1 of our chickens because it has turned out a rooster! I hope that you enjoy back yard chickens!

Thanks for the welcome, if only the weahter could be spread out a little more evenly

Ahhh, sorry you might have to give one of your birds up, its difficult when they turn out to be Roosters or Cockerals as we call them here, thnaks for the welcome its certainly a really good site
