Currently my 'illness' is under control, only played out in fantasy, as have not yet built chicken run at new place - and in past limited by space as will be here too. But if had loads of room for them, can imagine it could get out of hand.
My tastes are fairly specific - so much so that I have more or less (hum) persuaded partner of the necessity of buying hens from Garden Hens in Cheshire, where we got our previous ones from, because I liked them so much - even though it is a bit of a way from where we now are in Lincs. But I can always find another breed that it would be really, really good to have. Agony at the moment trying to work out exactly which six chickens to get when we have got the run up. I know it is sensible to start with only six so I can add younger ones in a year or two, blah, blah - and there are only two of us to eat the eggs, plus a few friends visiting - but Oh, how to choose...?

I've been forced to curb my enthusiasm. I had 5 embden geese, 5 white ducks, 5 kc ducks, 7 call ducks, a variety (about 20) of dorking chooks, 6 black rocks, 3 lavender pekins, 2 lemon stablepoops, 7quail, 3 milliflure pekins, 1 faverolle, 6 heinz and 1 pecky.
I now have 1red dorking, 2 pekins and a handfull of quail. When the garden is sorted and we can afford some local land I shall get going again (I can't see that being soon though) |
