Hello all!

My name is Jon but most people know me as Mez.

I live in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria & work in psychiatric re-hab support.

Ever since I was a boy when I used to spend school holidays on my grandparents small farm I have wanted my own chickens, I loved to spend hours watching them & collecting their eggs (they were truely free range birds so eggs could be found anywhere & everywhere!)

I'm not yet owned by any chucks but I am hoping to get a few Bantams in the not too distant future.

Space is a little limited at the moment (hence wanting bantams) but we do have our house on the market & large gardens/land is the top priorty in our next home & we are also on the waiting list for an allotment,
I've got a house & run set up ready & waiting, hoping to get either some Dutch or Sablepoot bantams.

Bantams won't be the only animals in our household as we already have 9 guinea pigs, 2 cats & 4 working cocker spaniels (+2 staffy X pups awaiting rehoming).
 
Hi Mez,
welcome to the best poultry forum.
I've got a few bantams, a pair of pekins and 3 white sablepoots.I do really recomend the Sablepoots,they are my loveliest breed of hens.I've also got 3 ex-batts(they're also lovely)a RIR,she's huge but a big softy,2 Lohmans(or summat like that)they're a hybrid.My 2 are extrememly nervous and flighty.
I've also got 7 dogs,3 snakes,10 quail,5 rabbits plus babies and 4 tropical fish tanks.

I love that Mez! I think most of us are owned by our chickens!

Welcome to the forum... and thank you for the introduction. It's always nice to hear a little about the people popping in.

I keep Large Fowl Only - mainly Cream Legbar, Copper Black Marans and White Orpingtons but I also have Abacot Ranger Ducks and Guinea Fowl. Brecon Buff Geese have been on order for the last year - and with lots of luck I might be able to import some Tufted American Buff Geese this year but that's a story for another day.

Have fun on the forum and good luck with relocating your home.

Tim
