I'm so envious of the people who have space for lots of chooks (I mean more than 2  :cry: )

I can only squeeze 2 into my garden but they are much loved pets.

Just got the 3.  Like Aunt Sally can't have any more because of limited space.  We've got mother hen and 2 daughters all light sussex bantams.  My grand plan is to donate 1 of my hens to my sister then when/if one of my girls goes broody, hatch some eggs of a different breed and keep a girl.  The kids will love it!  :D Ok so will I!  :lol:
