I wasent sure which section to post this in....Chickens or self sufficant section. Mods move it to wherever. Wanted to share the moment as they are so cute.

 

As I may have mentioned before we were planning on raising our own table birds for the first time. They have arrived today and here they are.

 

 

 

 

There is 20 all together and all are doing well at the moment, fingers crossed.

How gorgeous! We're just discussing getting some eggs from a friend as we have a broody hen at the minute, we'd eat the boys (sorry!) and keep the girls for eggs, got to do a load more reading up first though. Better be quick in case she snaps out of it (which won't be soon knowing her ) Most of the info seems to be about hatching in an incubator so off to trawl through for hatching with a hen.

they are absolutely gorgeous and not to be disrespectful toward you in any way at all...... I could never ever eat them when I had them from that size I have a very hard time as it is disassociating the ones I buy to eat and the ones in our garden as it is...I would'nt buy any kind of chicken, for a month after I got my girls, but everyone complained violently about it...so I swallowed my pride and everything else and went out and bought some chicken, I find it a little easier now, lol having the 1st 12 eggs was the same...I could'nt eat them I was afraid they would not lay anymore if I ate them all...... I'm a bit of a ditz ya know....lol anyways good luck with your birds
