Bird moment

Found the website to the Battery Hen Welfare Trust. There are a lot of links on that website that help you get a proper perspective on hen rearing and welfare. http://www.bhwt.org.uk/
Registered online and then called the numbers sent to me. They were ever so nice and as luck would have it - there were hens that were going to be available on the weekend they said. Perhaps they could get me some.
How many do I think I can keep?
Ohhhh.... may be 10?
They said I would get a phone call giving me a date and timings.
Yippeee!!
Must remember to cancel the delivery of eggs from the milkman. Won't need it anymore.
I had pictures of my hens in the garden clucking away peacefully among the bushes.
The dogs ignoring them but keeping a close eye out for Mr. Fox who likes our decking to canoodle under!
WAIT!!! What about the dogs! How can I make sure they don't go for the hens themselves?!

Hi! Have decided to take the plunge! Keeping animals has been a dream which is slowly coming to fruition! Started off with dogs, the occasional cat and then some fish. What next! Chickens!!

But I live in London. Where can I do that?

Moved into a house that came with its own chicken coop last year and this summer decided it was time to use it! Looked into buying a couple of hens and during my search found sites for ex-battery hens.

My daughter though a little unsure came to life at the mention of ex-battery hens. Apparently they had done some work in the PHSCE about it in school!

So I began reading up!
