Hi
My name is Shelly. I have been lurking for a little while, since I am not a true Small Holder, but since you seem friendly I thought I would bite the bullet and introduce myself.

We have a pub/inn in Warwickshire with a small paddock of land at the side (more than a quarter but less than half an acre). We have had chickens for about five weeks now. Ten hens (five different breeds) and a cock.

We are getting approximately 5 to 6 eggs a day. On Sunday two Kune Kune weaners are arriving.

which we are really excited about.

I would like to say a big thank you for the advise and tips you all post on here. Although I have not asked a direct question I have found it most useful trawling through the boards for answers.

Shelly

Hello Shelly

Welcome to the forum!!

Your hens are laying a lot better than mine. I have 40, and we are down to two eggs a day now!!!

Thank you for the welcome. Will be lots of pictures so wait out!! We are really pleased that the hens are laying. We didn't expect many really until Spring.
