Morning all,
Well we went to get some chickens yesterday afternoon. I wanted three hens of the same breed, but my 3 year old girls had other ideas. Anyway they picked the ones out that they wanted.
We came home with,
one, Light Susex,
one, speckledy,
one, Warren,

All three seem in very good health. The lady showed me how to clip there wings and she let me do them. She was really nice to the twins and showed them how to hold the hens, They have a great times as she let them hold a hen each. Plus the small holding had ducks, rabbits, chickens, Some small dogs that were loose (the twins wanted one but only came home with chickens!) There was also this great big turky there! Iv never seen one as big! Looks a great place up there and im sure that ill be haveing more dealing with the place going forward. They do hoildays for your chickens too. There is some after sales service too where you can phone/email them if you have any problems/worries/or need advice.
Anyway very please with the place and with the hens...

If anyone would like a link to the place that i had them from then just ask and ill post one if its allowed.



Thanks to everyone who has given bit a bit of advice over the last couple of days im sure i will be needing some more at some point.

Ill try and sort out some photos to post.

Thats fantastic news Richard well done mate and as you say a great place by the sounds of it. and your sorting some photos as well that would be excellent. Once again Congrats

kids love places like that. my neighbour has a little girl thats comes now and then she walks straight in and asks if she can go see the farm (my back garden)
my neices spend hours down the garden watching the chickens and ducks i think they would camp in with the chickens if i let them.
glad you found a really good place they can be hard to find

Its looks a great place for kids, its muddy, there is a large pond thats been dug out and it very natral looking. You have lots of animals walking around free, no cages. A few barns were the chcikens live a barn by the lake for the ducks. It was raining when we were there so it would have been better if it was dry. Im not sure were that big turcky lives, but he was pend in around the lake with the ducks while we were there.

Hi Richard.

Great news. Just to let you know, we have no problem with the posting of links.

We like to think our 'open, friendly and business welcome approach' on our network is one of our key differences, that also makes us better. We here to help promote, grow and support the poultry hobby and all of those involved in it.

Thank you.

Regards.

Hi Richard.
I have just moved this topic to the 'General Poultry' section of the forum, as I thought it would be more appropriate there.

Thank you.

Regards
Jamie.

Hi Richard, any further events in your chicken keeping? any pictures?
