How many Chickens did you start with - how many now !!!
How many Chickens did you start with - how many now !!!Just interested.
I started with 2 in 1999 and within two years went up to over 30 (I had and have ample space). But for the last 5 years or so I've kept it to 7 maximum. So for me...started with 2, now have 7. Richard New Member? Get more from the Forum and join in 'Members Chat' - you're very welcome
Re: How many Chickens did you start with - how many now !!!I am speaking on Ali's behalf as those bloody chickens are nothing to do with me.
Ali started with two, a week later it was up to four, two weeks after that it was six and now she has somewhere around forty. I'm not sure because during the day they keep moving so I loose count and at night they all huddle up so that I have no idea where one ends and the next one begins Dom Ali Woks My World
Re: How many Chickens did you start with - how many now !!!I started with 3 then went up to 5 and now back down to 4

You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.” - unknown Re: How many Chickens did you start with - how many now !!!Had three in the UK, (re-homed when we moved) was given five here, lost one, bought three more and hatched eleven. So 18, but a trio are going as soon as the road is clear. I want more layers. We will be setting eggs soon.

Re: How many Chickens did you start with - how many now !!!I started with 4, fairly quickly ended up with 8. Lost all 8 and have now started again with 6.
No girls at the moment but look forward to getting more in the future. Proud mummy to Hector, a Bedlington Terrier x Jack Russell

Re: How many Chickens did you start with - how many now !!!Good Bob !
It's interesting to see how the numbers go up and down. I would imagine that if everyone posted there would be an overall increase. Richard New Member? Get more from the Forum and join in 'Members Chat' - you're very welcome
Re: How many Chickens did you start with - how many now !!!I started with three but one turned out to be a cockerel, took him back and came home with two more so total of four. A year on I lost one so got two more giving me five now. like Jackie says, if I had the room I would have loads more. They are addictive.
