THIS IS A DIARY ABOUT OUR PET CHICKENS, WHO LIVE FREE-RANGE IN OUR GARDEN.
HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO DISPEL ANY MYTHS ABOUT NOISE AND SMELL AND INVITE MORE PEOPLE INTO THE BRILLIANT WORLD OF KEEPING CHICKENS.
THESE WONDERFUL BIRDS MAKE GREAT PETS FOR CHILDREN AND PROVIDE HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT AND FANTASTIC TASTY EGGS FOR VERY LITTLE MAINTENANCE AND COST.
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! MEET THE MARSHALL HENS.. BOVAN GOLDLINES AMBER STARS BLACK STARS SPECKLED STAR BLUEBELL
those are some lovely eggs.. Zach's friend gives us his fresh eggs from time to time and we love them so much better than store bought.. How are the kids? all back in school now? my oldest 2 are.. and what a change with Middle school.. sigh.. they grow up too fast damn it Miss you
6 of the Marshall's egges (given to us by Brogan) caused WW3 in our household of 4 as to who, after tasting one each, would get the remainder for breakfast.
