Melbourne12 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) It's taken two months in the execution, but "Project Chicken Keeping" has finally delivered results. We picked up four Ixworths yesterday. Pictures and story here http://bit.ly/rkFlA9 Edited August 23, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Lovely They will get used to the treadle feeder I would check them for lice or other crawlies just to make sure the feather loss is not caused by anything nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbourne12 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Lovely chickens are you planning on hatching some babies? We are indeed - I hope that's not too ambitious, since we're completely new to keeping chickens! The breeder that we bought them from suggested to leave it until March or April next year before trying to hatch any eggs, to give the birds the best start in the warm weather next spring.
