Avid-Myrtle Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 So excited, I got 3 new girls today! We had 3 chickens back in 2007, now only Edna is left AMAZINGLY she is still laying 4/5 eggs a week & all are big! She has been alone for the last few years but she potters round the garden with my mum and comes in the kitchen when she wants ( she has even laid eggs in the dogs bed!). So life has changed again & I am home more, so we thought we could get some more chicken we went with 1 Bluebelle, 1 Sussex Star & 1 Columbian Black Tail We feel like novices again & have spent all day checking on them, we are keeping the new ones in the eglu run, for a week as Edna is a large chicken who was always the bully to the others ( my friend moved recently & I looked after her 4 hens & 1 cockerel for 10 days & she tried to take the cockerel on - luckily he was a gentleness boy who just put her in her place) Hopefully mixing them next weekend will go smoothly! Wish us luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
