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

I would recommend going to visit JUDE AT COTSWOLD CHICKENS HAWTHORN STUD SOUTH NEWINGTON BANBURY

****NEWS FLASH****

TODAY WE HAVE ANOTHER LAYER...


Didn't catch the hen in action but it wasn't Harriet as she laid at 8.00am and always lets you know.
Today though after removing Harriett's egg I replaced it with the ceramic fake egg and at 10.30 when Harrison went out he found another one in the nesting corner.

But who is the mystery layer? No real clues other than a feather that could of come from three of the four. And as one of those is Harriet it narrows it down to two.. Amber or Speckle.

Despite looking for more clues we are none the wiser and don't suppose we will be until we catch her in the act.
