Keeping Chickens Newsletter

Kate : What a great find this newsletter is! I am a newcomer to chicken keeping, only 10 days experience so far! Luckily I got my 6 hens from a great local supplier, who answered all my questions and set me up with great confidence. I have 6 different hybrids - Rhode Rock, Columbian Blacktail, Speckledy, Blue Haze, Coral Nick and Light Sussex. They have settled in very well and 4 are laying already. Within days, they were following me around and having their wheat treats from my hand. The June newsletter mentioned wasting time by watching the girls in several articles - and although I do spend a lot of time watching them and being near them, I justify it as getting to know each other and their regular health check! I find it a very relaxing and rewarding time in my daily schedule. Keep up the good work - I will be waiting for each new newsletter, and in the meantime will ration the back issues so that I can thoroughly enjoy them. Kate - County Durham UK
