From the pics it looks like they're still a month or so off of their first lay - you will not believe the THRILL of discovering those first eggs in the nesting box.<br /><br />If you have any hen-keeping questions, feel free to drop me a line! I'm always looking for people to talk chicken madness with :)<br />You can see my girls here: http://wonderland.starma.co.uk/?m=20110615<br /><br />You're right to keep them off the garden - mine *ruined* mine - but I suspect when they're a bit bigger and a bit bossier you'll find yourself wanting to extend their run. Those girls can be very demanding! ;)Sarahttp://wonderland.starma.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-39394727644000526682011-08-08T21:30:30.337+01:002011-08-08T21:30:30.337+01:00oooh! how EXCITING!

We've been keeping chickens for about 5 years now and they really are so easy to look after, and so much fun!<br />Don't be too surprised or concerned if the first few eggs your chooks lay have paper-thin shells which are squashed before you even get a chance to get them out of the nesting box. Should only last for the first week or so of them laying.<br />And you're right to keep them away from your flowers, unless of course you'd like your beds stripped back to almost nothing?!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888014986650598361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-71796463034624593902011-08-04T12:21:39.191+01:002011-08-04T12:21:39.191+01:00I have three hens too and they bring me so much jo...I have three hens too and they bring me so much joy. Unfortunately they will never be free range as a couple of years ago one was killed by a fox in the garden in the middle of an autumn day. Your garden is beautiful.
