Title: Hello from Nottinghamshire
Post by: crafty Chic on June 17, 2009, 09:38:04 am: Hello All
We are from Retford in Nottinghamshire, and have just 4 Hybrids for now at around 24 weeks old, this is all very new to me, and how naive I was lol, but loving their company all the same. Good job the neighbours have had chickens before and enjoy having them around too. I have loads of questions already, so I hope you don’t mind if I get to work straight away and compose my first one.

Post by: MiriMaran on June 21, 2009, 08:01:51 pm: The more I read the more I realise how little I know! I read a thread about someone questioning what a certain thing was in their layers pellets, I think it was. ShetlandPaul replied with an answer that was total gobbledygook - he may as well have been speaking Chinese! Thank Goodness there's people like him to teach people like me!

I left a message on your phone after talking to Rosemary but you obviously haven't heard it - look on poultry for the story.
