THE MARSHALL'S CHICKENS...


Well after reading another blog about Chickens (see my links)
We decided that it was most certainly acceptable to keep chickens as a hobby.
Despite one or two of our neighbours moaning behind our backs and behind closed doors we went ahead and welcomed into our garden four hens..
Harriet - Sapphire - Speckle - Amber
Sometimes you just have to accept that you can please some of the people some of the time and for the rest of it ... well, get a life...
GET A CHICKEN!!

Having now moved out into the countryside we have no neighbours so have 13 hens and 2 very nosey cockerals!!



HERE IS MY OWN DIARY OF A CHICKEN LOVER...

Firstly a huge " THANK YOU" to JUDE SCOTT at
COTWOLD CHICKENS - This lady was really helpful and gave us loads of time, useful and advice and support.

I would recommend going to visit JUDE AT COTSWOLD CHICKENS HAWTHORN STUD SOUTH NEWINGTON BANBURY
If you too like us feel the need to expand your knowledge and desire for the good life!

AMBER



"Amber " is an Amber Star - not exactly an original name but this was left to the boys to decide.. She was very timid to begin and chased constantly by Harriet who would push, and peck her off the roosting perch.

However Amber was either thick skinned or stupid because she just kept coming back and has now been fully accepted into the crowd. She likes to flap her wings and run round the garden in little mad spells. She also is very nosey and is always the 1st to the gate to see what you have.

I think she may have some Magpie blood because she is forever trying to peck my diamond engagement ring!
