Well coop number 1 delivered today, should hold about 4 chickens. Man from company that is providing coop number 2 rang today to say they have now got a bigger coop in stock for £25 extra, so I thought I might aswell order that 1 just incase!!!!!

I must not buy any more chickens. I must not buy any more chickens. I must not buy any more chickens. Well I did my best but Izzy and Millie arrived today, a cream and a gold legbar, and I wanted a araucana really!

Ooops to your dilemma, will just have to get an araucana or two to join them, then you'll feel more satisfied with your brood   :innocent:

Let me know how your legbars are temperament wise, we are considering a couple for the blue eggs and sex ink so we can have them from day olds, tho still looking into this as have vaccinated hybrids. Wish I wasn't so chicken  :innocent: about rearing eggs but have a cockerel dilemma  ::)

Well.....
Your guy has come back to Leuchars as attacked my cousin as well!!!!
He has been here 3 weeks now and not attemted that... reckon he must know what the rules are!
 
You should check out freecycle or put and ad on looking for a shed... I have managed to acquire 3 now.. and not it too bad condition....
 
Yep, I know that condition well ::)

I started a year ago with 4 POLs, acquired 4 more in November from BHWT, then another 4 over winter, tho I then parted with them after realising I wasn't cut out for dealing with a cockerel and he and his girls left after a month or so along with their wee coop..

I've been yearning for more ever since, but it's the investment in another coop that is keeping me down to my 8, tho I know I'd be lost if I found a good size shed I could afford, it'd be full within weeks ;D
