Chicken boarders

[busy bee]

Hi, I have been reading up on chickens on here for a little while and just purchased our four this week.

 

One for each of the children and one for my husband and myself to share!! We have a columbian black, gingernut ranger, bluebell and a speckledy. I cannot believe how much time we have all spent watching them! So far only one of them have laid an egg, the gingernut ranger, much to the other two children's disgust! When my daughter found her egg, it was like christmas, we could hear her from the bottom of the garden, so glad she didn't drop it whilst running to the house in excitement!

 

The forum looks very good with lots of advice, which I am sure I shall be needing!

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new girls . Have you thought of names yet?

 

The first egg is always cause for great excitement . I hope the others follow suit soon!

Hi, thank you everyone for the welcome, our girls are called, Hermione (daughter with Harry Potter obsession), Daisy, (son who likes Upsey daisy), Bluebell and Emily! We are still getting one egg a day which Hermione is producing, just waiting for the other three to start, the other two children are getting desperate!!! Hopefully not too much longer!!!
