More Chickens in residence!

Got a bigger make shift enclosure set up today so went over to http://www.craighillpoultry.co.uk to collect 3 point of lay black rock hens. Though going by the colour of their comb it's going to be a couple of weeks before they start laying. Once they get settled in i'll get some pics added to the blog.

Chickens in Residence!

The hen house finally arrived yesterday, so me and my Dad spent most of the day putting it together. We then went over to Craighill Poultry to pick up the Isa Brown hens, they are now happily roosting in their new house. I also saw my black rock hens, I never realised how big they were so i am going to have to have a rethink about housing them!

Chicken accommodation!

This is the hen house I have ordered. I am patiently waiting for it to arrive but due to the blooming snow no courier would be daft enough to even think about coming down our road, at the moment its 4x4 vehicles only! Hopefully it will arrive this week and i can collect the chickens next weekend. The chickens will be coming from Craighill Poultry, Strichen. The nice lady is going to keep me 3 ISA Brown POL hens until the hen house is ready. I have also reserved 3 Black Rock hens, they are only 8 weeks old just now so i'll be waiting til they are nearer 16 weeks old before i collect them. She will also be showing me her indian runner ducks... I soo want some!!!
