kinsk Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I didn't really believe the chicken addiction thing and really didn't think I'd become a victim. I think I have from three ex-bats, I currently have 24 welsummer hens, 2 welsummer cocks, a light sussex cock, 18 light sussex eggs in the incubator and yesterday I got my 6 cream legbar girls it just seems to be very easy to accumulate just need a nice boy for my legbars now.

coco Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 You are definately an addict. I started off with three, I have have about 30 ish although to be fair about 20 of tem are really small banties. If anybody asks two banties makes one big girl so really I haven't got that many.

Alis girls Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I feel a song coming on "they wanted me to go to rehab but i said bok bok bok........." Thirty bantums is not a good excuse for a lot of chickens. I;ve got 4 and thats my lot or is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yep, it's a dangerous and very slippery slope Started with 4 in a cube.... Now have 24 and 2 walk in runs I am at the "other side" of morehens where my thinking is "natural downsizing" may be a sensible idea At my height I had over 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody asks two banties makes one big girl so really I haven't got that many. That's so funny, I think I will tell my hubby that I really only have 3 then ( I have 6 really ) And by the way, morehens disease is contagious.

Angela & Ken Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I am so glad I came across your post about addiction. I was feeling greatly concerned that we'd gone from 2 hens (3 last year) to 9 hens in one weekend! We went out intending to purchase an extra 3 but I just couldn't help myself. The only thing that stopped me is the size of the garden and the Cube only holds 10! 2 of our new hens are bantams, so I figure that's not a whole chicken!

dancing cloud Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Think of it not so much as an addiction as a way of life ! I intended to start with 4 ex batts, brought home 6 and had 12 at one point. Currently down to 2 grey girls only because this isn't my house or garden. Roll on the day I have my own place again!

Mrs Webmuppet Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 We started off with 2 bantams and one hybrid in a little wooden house. Then got a Cube and 3 more............now we have 8 spread between a Cube and an Eglu. It would have been 7 but the lady from the BHWT talked us into having another one when we booked our ex batts ................ Our garden is tiny too.

Chortle Chook Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm strictly limited by space (and OH) so somehow most of my friends now have chickens -err might that be Morehens by proxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
