Congratulations! It is a fun adventure! 🥳

I once came across a book called "Zen and the Art of raising chickens" - might be a fun read for a new chicken owner 😊

This is brilliant! We have the two goats which are comparatively easier- I don't have to worry about foxes taking them (which is one of the reasons I haven't taken the leap into getting hens yet), however when they escape from their field, I cannot carry them back in. Swings and roundabouts! My mother often remarks that no one (including myself) ever saw me rearing goats. It was the aisles of Woolworths I was raised!

nobody in my family is delighted. They are finding it amusing and out of character (both probably true). goats sounds good, but I don't think we could keep them.
