Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm a little bit of an interloper here, as don't actually have an eglu :shock: but I DO have 4 chickens, and have read lots of very interesting posts on here, so this is me saying hello!!! I'm a bit new to all the smileys etc, so apologies if this doesn't come out right!!!

Ok, our chickens - we have 4 - we started off with 3, but one (a black leghorn called Sarah Jemima) very quickly got sick and died, which was a rocky start, especially as the vet then advised us to get a PM done as they thought it was either avian flu(!!!!!!) or salmonella - but clearly was neither, was just stress and a bit of cocci. So we got 2 Bovan Goldlines to join the Black Rock and Speckeldy, and they all get on tremendously! We get 3-4 eggs a day, and they live in a henhouse my husband built for them. If you click on the www link, I've got a blog where you can see some pics of them. The house pics are right at the beginning, back in 2007, but there are some chickeny ones in 2008.

Hello there!

 

Don't worry about not having an Eglu, I think lots of chicken owners find this forum really useful because most of us are new to chickens, only have a few hens and, to be honest, treat them like pets - not that that's a bad thing, but I expect there are few other places on the web where people genuinely worry about their hen's _mental_ wellbeing and happiness as well as their physical condition!

Thank you for the welcomes!!! We are in the South West, so the chickens have got used to RAIN RAIN and MORE RAIN!

 

I am quite envious of all the eglu cubes - they look fantastic, and some of the runs you've all built are amazing. I REALLY wish our garden was bigger and could accommodate more hens! But given the trouble we have getting through all our eggs atm, perhaps that's just as well! :D
