We have CHICKENS! Well……… at least we’ve bought them but have not yet made homes for them, more on this later.
After a trip out with my sister and brother-in-law to Leek livestock auction one Saturday and coming away empty handed we popped in to see a man about some chickens a bit closer to home.
As no-one really knew what to get Nik for his birthday, a chicken or two was looking like a good gift idea. So after some debate Nik decided on three chickens (Pekin Bantams) that he would like to keep, not only as egg layers, but as pets too (Ahh bless!) One was buff coloured, one black and one brown.
My sister and brother-in-law said they would like to buy the buff coloured one for him and asked if they could name it Ginger, this eventually led on to Nik’s sister’s contributing towards buying the black and brown hens and naming them Kiev and Speckle.
We have also acquired a brown hen who did a Steve McQueen from a local chicken farm (no name given yet and breed unknown!) that is currently in the good hands of our friend Andrew.
Now all they need is a home!
