Title: Hen lover from Aberdeenshire
Post by: joyofchicks on February 12, 2010, 05:04:26 pm

Hello - have enjoyed lurking for some time and have now 'bitten the bullet' and registered.  I have five hens just now (and two cockerels on parole with a friend).  Today I've encountered a problem with an egg... but I'll post that in the poultry section.

Welcome from an ex pat! ;)  I moved South to be near my kids almost 2 years ago.  I was near Old Rayne - about half way between Inverurie and Huntly

Hi and welcome from the Scottish Borders. I started with 6 hens and now have 31, 1 cockerel and 17 ducks. It's addictive.

Hello from me in South Lanarkshire  ;D
I grew up here, but lived in Aberdeenshire for a few years. Moved to Westhill before deciding I needed to be in the 'country' again ;) So we moved to Pitmedden for a while, before finally buying a 2 acre smallholding out at Fyvie ;D After our 2 legged 'animals' made an appearance it was back home here, to TRY and get my families redundant farm into some kind of production ;)
No chickens for me (yet!) but I am totally addicted to  :pig: :pig: :pig:
Look forward to hearing more from you,
Karen x
