We've got chickens

We got our first chickens yesterday, 3 hens at point of lay!

Within 2 hours of getting them, we had our first egg
Obviously one of the hens is just past point of lay.

 

Nice one Vince I like Chickens.

Got your envelope, i'm 30 miles from the seeds at the moment though, will sort it out when I go back

 

Congratulations! Getting hens was one of the best things we've ever done. My only regret was that we didn't do it sooner.Once had a POL lay an egg on the way back to their new home. What breed are they?

 

cool! hens and geese, I need a big garden soon!!!!!!!!!
one day hopefully...working on it..

 

Great move we have hens give us 4 eggs a day much better than super market one. We have just increased our numbers would you belive some one dumped 5 hens in the middle of nowhere poor thing are skinny and have lost lots of feathers , so have rescued them given them a feed and drink poor things were starving who would do such a thing

 

Thats terrible, i'm glad you found them before the fox did.

 

I live in a place where pets/animals are not allowed but it'smy choice. I do love chooks and am a little envious of you guys who can. I would love to see piccies of them sometime. Please show them off on this thread,
thank you,
