It's all happening here. Maybe faster than I'd originally thought too. I was going to concentrate on the pigs first; getting fences built and the pigs on the land by Christmas. Then a friend called to say someone online was trying to find a home for a huge chicken run and house, with approximately 10 chickens(some of which are ex-battery hens) and a cockerel. I wasn't quite ready for chickens, I was planning on waiting until spring, but life has a funny way of throwing things in your direction when you least expect it.
I've been discussing the big move with the woman that owns them, so once the logistics are sorted these guys will be coming to live with me!
They look nice hens :)
ReplyDeleteApparently they are a bit neglected now as she has just had a newborn baby and can't cope with them, but nothing a bit of fresh land to peck around in and some good grub won't fix. I will be adding a few new purchased birds as well at a later date, as I've fallen in love with Speckled Sussex purebreds and Marans, and just have to have some!
