coffe ready, and can enjoy it too, someone has just worn herself out   aaaaaaaaahh bliss  

Hi Tetley, If you pop along to your local Terre de sud or Gamme Verre you can get all your supplies quite cheaply. If you are going to get hens then you need a bag of Pondeuse (means food for laying hens), a bag of Oyster shell and,  I always buy mine big sacks of Melange Basse Cour. It has corn and all sorts of grain and stuff in it and the chooks love it. The whitey and red plastic feeders and drinkers are cheap and adequate but buy the big ones as once youve started with all this you will be hooked :shock:  :shock:     Have fun I leave my feeders full all the time, actually my feeder is an alluminium one that cost about 25 euros and you fill it up and just release food gradually (i.e. when it gets low) and that way they have some food all the time. I mix all the feed together and give mine lettuce etc for treats.
