we used to think that but you find space for them when you have them, as we found out on wed when we came home with more than we bargained for from hereford. 64 point of lay pullets, 15 goslings 15 ducklings and 9 maran chicks, ohh well never mind, the more the merrier

not sure about what they are as they were sold as large white x, but had a chat to madcat last night and between us we think from the markings they are ebden x toulouse,
everything else seems to have settled ok but the chickens dont seem to know how to go to bed so they have to be caught and put to bed every night but they are getting better and we only had 11 to catch tonight, they will bet there, i dont think they have ever been out and have been shed reared
