Chickens On The Allotment Update. Raising Chickens For Eggs

[@myrustygarden]

I love the way they talk to each other 😂. Yes but look at it as future fertilizer 🐓💩. Fab update Helen have a wonderful week, Ali ☁️🇨🇦

[@oddsocksgrowing]

Sooooooo much 🐓💩. One of the reasons I wanted them 👍.

Lovely tour of your chickens and coop

[@oddsocksgrowing]

Thanks much appreciated ☺️

Oh, bless them! I love their cackle...they are making more sense than many adults do in conversation! 🐓🐓🐓 Take care, Annie 🐞🐝🌱

😂 normally they are telling me off for having no treats 🤣. So talkative. Especially when one finds something tasty, and the others give chase to get in on the action 😂.

I miss having chickens. Loved seeing yours. I used to have white stars for white eggs, aracunas for green eggs and marans for the mahogany coloured eggs. I may have to get more once we stop travelling as much as we do. ❤🐔🐔 try dusting with diatomaceous earth, I used it with my chickens and never had a problem. I use it in the garden too around young plants.

I miss having aracunas. Had 2 lavender ones a few years back. They were great. I do use DE around the chickens. Find it helps. Happy travels. Chickens could always be an option again in the future ❤️

I wish I could hold a chicken. They are beautiful ❤️

[@oddsocksgrowing]

Yup. But also a pain in the rear 🤣. Most are enjoying being held now, and actually come to me 🥰 to be picked up

[@Garden-of-weeden]

Haha you’re right! I had a chicken called deathwish because the bugger would get herself into all sorts of mischief lol

[@oddsocksgrowing]

😂😂 they really do 🤣. If it fits, I sits is their motto 😂.

[@RichardTaylorgardening]

Really enjoyed that and my chickens were listening too I have 3 speckly Sussex 2 white star and a copper black maran which likes to peck my hands and feet lol

[@oddsocksgrowing]

Love that the chickens were watching 😂. Love those breeds. I have two that just love my feet 😂😂

How many eggs a day do you get on a day

[@oddsocksgrowing]

Depends it's not consistent. Some days 16. Some days just 4 or 5.... How I get 16 from 11 chickens who knows 😂. Some may be on a shorter body clock than a 24hr cycle
