Hi, I'm a newbie to the forum and chicken keeping. We've had our ex-battery hens about 3 weeks now and I was gettting really used to the lovely supply of fresh eggs when unfortunately one of them developed a bit of a cold and is now on antibiotics. This of course means that unless I witness who lays an egg, all eggs laid are having to be thrown away for the next 6 weeks, which is heartbreaking.
On the plus side however, they have been a very welcome addition to the family and a constant source of amusement and entertainment. Well worth the price of admission
I am about to change their flooring tonight from bark chippings on decking to Easibed on slabs. I'm hoping that this will prove less slimy in the rain...
I'm looking forward to joining in with all the discussions on here and gaining a mountain of knowledge at the same time.
