Hi,
Its been a while since I last posted so Hi again...
The missus and I have decided we'd like to keep chickens and we're looking for advice on, well, the basics really.
We have a shed and a run for them but we're not sure which breed we'd like to keep. We've been told that Marans produce lovely large eggs. We've got enough space to keep 20+ but would prefer to have maybe 6 or 8 and offer them more space. There are only 3 of us so we don't need hens that'll produce loads and loads of eggs. We'd prefer fewer and better quality. Once we've got the shed in place and fox-proofed we'll be off to market so any advice on what to look for, where to start, whether we can but a few of maybe 2 or 3 types etc.
We have neighbours so will probably avoid a cockerill for the time being. Is this going to cause us problems?
Thanks
