Finally realised a life long dream of owning chickens with these two, tiny, two-month old bantams today. They are awesome !!

Welcome to chicken owning ? I currently have two bantams and recently rehomed 3 commercial hens destined for slaughter. They are so appreciative of everything and come running to greet me when I go up to the orchard.

I foresee it won’t be long before you are adding to your flock ? it’s rather addictive.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr, i did the same. ive always wanted chickens and got 2 buff orpingtons last september. They are really funny, but do spend most of there time trying to get in my house!!

Oh slippery slope. After years and years of waiting I finally got my 4 a year ago. Two ex-batts and two hybrid youngsters. They are just the best and give hours of fun as well as great eggs!

Chickens are addictive - I have a small herd. We are quite a bit larger than a back yard flock now ?
Did start with the intention of breedfancy ones but I’m a sap and just added lots of rescues and strays!

yours are delightful! Bantams are fab mums too x

Welcome to the world of chicken owning. I too got some after many years of thinking about it, wouldn't be without them now, even although they trash my garden and sit on my porch making a mess. Hilarious creatures who all have their own personalities. You will end up with many more, I had 22 at one point in time now down to 9.

They look adorable! I started with 4 very pretty purebreds a few years ago and now have 20 all-sorts - I think I should really stop there but it's so hard when there are so many lovely breeds to choose from, not to mention coloured egg layers

They make better pets than dogs if you ask me. My hens certainly have better recall than a lot of dogs.
