Hosted by Julie
We first started keeping chickens in 2006 when we looked after a friends hens while they went on holiday. We got hooked from that day on. Increasing our flock came next and then breeding our own chickens for sale. This gave us the opportunity to handle more birds but be sensible with the numbers we actually kept for ourselves. We still keep our own egg laying flocks because life means more when chickens are around. After becoming avid readers of everything to do with chickens we decided to set up chicken keeping training to help others start on the chicken keeping road. Chicken boarding or visiting coops during holidays is another aspect of our business that we now offer. Quality holiday care for chickens on means that owners can now feel confident in leaving their birds with us and enjoy their holidays.
