Life with six urban chickens
It’s been four weeks since our newbie gingernut rangers joined our urban flock. And despite a period of vicious hen pecking they have settled in nicely. They are now all laying and roaming together.

Mike put some of the loose hay inside the little shed at the back of the garden, he left the door open while doing something else only […]
Naughty urban chickens!!!
Who knew how much destruction four urban chickens could cause in one day left alone with two fully intact straw bales!! I’m guessing it was fun!!
They’ve found their way onto the decking
Oh our clever birds, they found their way onto the decking, though only Perky and Penny are usually brave enough to attempt it. It was funny this morning to pop out into the conservatory and see their little faces peering in! They can only just fit between the railings to get up. Boo Boo came […]
