hello Emma - I am on the essex/suffolk border - just to confirm what Jubilee said I started with just three birds now I have hens in the orchard, 6 week chicks in the garage pen, 2 week old chicks in the brooder, 12 hens eggs in one incubator and two goose eggs in another . but I do have the pleasure of watching the chucks scuttle about, and the taste of fresh eggs for brekkie .
