Keeping chickens

 
In these days when times are harder, it makes sense to keep chickens - so long as they are suitably housed & cared for, of course.  It means you can enjoy your own eggs for breakfast, omelettes too - and if you grow herbs and salads too, you can flavour your dish & colour your plate  with greenery. 
 
Benefit from your own eggs for breakfast, omelettes and if you in the garden, you can flavour your meals with those.

 

For more information about keeping hens, visit the Hen Keepers Association. It’s an information network for those who keep hens for pleasure.   It has information on the health, welfare and management of hens.   It also campaigns on their behalf on issues such as protection small garden flocks against avian flu.

  
The site has lots of tips and hints to help you keep your birds safe and well.

  
You can also  join the Hen Keepers Association's campaign to protect family flocks of hens.  All it takes is a phone call, an email or a letter in the post. All the details are on the site.
 
Pet Supermarket sells hen houses, food, & everything hens & chickens need.

  • Always consult with your GP before starting any new form of exercise

  • WASH YOUR HANDS after touching animals BEFORE eating or snacking. (It could be a good idea to take some antiseptic wipes or handwash with you, just in case loo facilities don't provide soap.) Do not let children put their fingers into their mouths or suck thumbs after touching animals - it's common sense!
  • The amount of contact you can have with animals varies from one place to another & one animal to another. Common sense must prevail.
  • Before you visit places, check that there are no current regulations/conditions which could mean that they are closed. Also check for opening hours.
