chickflick Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Well i have been lurking here for some time and asking lots of questions which you have very patiently answered and have just ordered a green cube! I went on a hen party which clinched the deal for me-very helpful. So now i need to choose /find some chickens. Does anyone have warrens?What are they like?Do you have any pictures of them? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 First of all see what the breeders have near you. There's a breeders list on here, on the Omlet Wiki, (this has some variations so do check) and there's a good one in the back of Practical Poultry magazine.

Snowy Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi, congratulations on ordering your cube - you won't regret having chickens! Warrens are your basic 'little red hen' egg laying machines. Very friendly and inquisitive, great personalities and an egg a day for at least the first year.

superjules Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Are gingernuts rangers actually warrens? They look similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Most of the basic ginger chickens ie warrens, rangers, goldlines etc are based on a rhode island red x light sussex or white sussex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
