Hi! I've been keeping hens for about 3 and a half years in the backyard of my Victorian terrace - if you know English houses you will know that these yards are not particularly big, but it's all theirs. We have a run with bark chippings as well as the cemented space, which is really easy to keep clean (my very patient partner power-washes it once a week). I started out with 2 rescues, normal Warren types. A couple of years ago I discovered there was a Pekin (I think Americans call them cochin) breeder nearby, and got my first tiny hen. I am now obsessed and will never have anything else. I used to work for a charity that facilitated henkeeping in care homes, so I have met a lot of hens - I've never seen girls who are so friendly and have so much personality. I currently have 2 grownup girls, a mottled and a wheaten, and now 2 pullets who have been with us less than a month - two millefleurs.

We have an Eglu setup which is perfect for our tiny hens.
