Chooks are go
Chooks in their barn
We recently took delivery of seventeen chickens for the new allotment plot. They are all rescue chooks, with five coming from Tesco free-range brood, and the rest from undisclosed battery farm(s). The Tesco ones are definitely in the best health; some of the others have lumps, bumps and no feathers.
They all seem pretty happy with their new home though. We’ve housed them in an old out building that Andy and Chris patched up and built a approx 20m x 5m run with homemade gates.
So far the egg yeilds are pretty good. We have had up to fifteen eggs on some days. Not bad, hey?
