Hi

[Urban Chickens]

Hello everyone I’m new to the site.

My Name is Dean and about 18 months ago I started keeping a few chickens. This then went to myself wanting to hatch a few, got an incubator and hatched some of my own! I loved it..... Then I wanted to hatch from my own stock so whilst on a job working I asked a man if I could rent a little bit of land off him for my own boy and girls..... £25 a month job done

Now I have around 20!

A few months ago in August I started running small local poultry auctions in hullbridge which i really enjoy hosting and I have created a small but growing web site!

Sally at the magazine convinced me to advertise with GYO and to join the forum..... So here I am ..... Hi!

I'm 23 Work for National Gird and enjoy my chicken keeping hobby. My girlfriend thinks I’m nuts!

There you go, That’s me!

Well, welcome to the Vine Dean. Friendly bunch here, and if no-one on here knows; it probably ain't worth knowing.

These chooks are for eggs, meat or just admiring then?

Hi welcome. I kept two beautiful girls in my back yard for a while but sob sob they ruined my garden so had to let them go. I know nothing about chickens apart from that they worm themselves into your heart.

They are for the eggs, i sell fertilised eggs but now with my auctions i tend to hatch them

I've added a signature but its not showing up?

[Urban Chickens]

Scrap that it is now

Hi Dean and welcome to the Vine. I haven't been brave enough to get chickens yet, but I keep having a look at Rule the Roost! As Jeanied says, don't be a stranger to the other threads, it's really friendly on here.
