i have only been doing this hen keeping for a very short while -but i love it! It is soo nice to see them all trotting up the ramp at dusk and to come down and greet me in the mornings!  i havent even had any eggs yet - but when i do it will make it soo very rewarding! I suppose i am just being silly coz i am sure everyone else must feel the same ?!

I'm new too! I love my chooks as much as some people love their cats and dogs. They're such characters, I could watch them for hours! My husband thought the novelty would wear off pretty quickly but my obsession is just getting worse. And now I've found this site I feel much more confident too!

I started with 4 warrens more than 15 years ago and now have over 40 hens in a mixed free range flock. My husband is still waiting for the novelty to wear of!!!!

I love this site too.  Had my girls 2 weeks - (3 wee eggs so far, today's was a wee bit bigger than other 2). It reassuring that you can get help and advice at the touch of a few buttons.  Thanks everyone for their help so far.

Nothing silly about loving your chickens and look how many new friends they've brought you

I came downstairs from decorating this afternoon to find a very wet chicken sitting on my daughter's knee watching tv and being dried with a hairdryer.

Not many places you can say that without people thinking your strange

Mine live on my plot, which by chance is at the back of the house through the gate in the fence 
Anyways they love being with me when I am on there digging and clearing etc, they can see me coming and their heads pop up with excitement, then when I am digging away they scratch and get their heads just about where the spade is going to come crushing down  looking and waiting for the worms n bugs, the other morning we were having a good digging sesh and as I looked up, we had about 5 people watching us and laughing. They make better pets on there than dogs I reckon.
Enjoy them, the eggs are just a bonus, the chooks are the real pleasure.
