*mummy_hen* Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hello all, Am a new chicken mummy to be - we collect our 4 new hens from the BHWT on the 23rd May and can't wait! Still trying to decide on names for them and my other half is currently putting up a lovely house and run for them. Hoping to meet lots of other chicken lovers on here and get any advice we may need, being new chicken owners! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*mummy_hen* Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Thanks both for your replies. We are both really looking forward to having them around - we know people with chickens and when i was younger i grew up with ducks and geese so know the commitment they are. Will post an update once we have collected them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
