Markio Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 That French Grey is a beautiful looking bird Markio. Is that an eating or a laying breed? LS Depends how quickly it starts laying. But we got them for laying and as an interest/pet for our daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 The Goldlines wattle & comb are quite red so she atleast should start laying in the next week or two. Chickens make great pets and get very tame the more you handle them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I am still trying to persuade the missus to let me have a few chickens. I fancy one of the those Eglu cube houses but she says the garden is too small and they will make a mess. I've tried every argument (but no success so far) and her latest trick is to say that I can have them but only if we extend the garden (we could buy a bit of next doors garden). So 20 grand for some chickens! Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap and does the job and the birds will still have as much room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markio Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Had our first two eggs from the brown one yesterday and today (the grey one has yet to start). Holly had the first one boiled with soldiers for breakfast, she was well chuffed (as are we). Looking forward to Ham, egg and chips now.
