Hi, i am from Lincolnshire and a great chicken lover and have about 40 ish birds!!
I have got a large light sussex cockerel and 3 light sussex hens, a few mixed bantums and about 20 red hens, 10 of which i rescued from a battery farm, (poor things, they were nearly featherless!)
All these birds have a quite a large area to scratt and worm etc (about 10x10 metres!) My whole garden is about 3/4 acre in total.
I am also just starting to try and breed Pekins, Patrick (my cockerel) is a mottled pekin and he lives with Patricia (another mottled pekin) Lucy (a lavender pekin) and CJ (a black pekin!!) and i have got 12 Lavender and mottled chicks of varying ages between 3 and 6 wks old.
I am looking forward to hearing from all u other chicken lovers!!
