We grow our own food in a suburban village in the North East of England. Follow us as we keep up the battle to be self-sufficient.

The hens have arrived
I am delighted to be able to announce that we are now the proud owners of three chickens called Attila, Kylie and Gingie. One of them (Attila) has already laid 5 eggs for us. The other two are point of lay so hopefully they will be producing eggs for us shortly.
Attila (the hen) is a Light Sussex, Kylie (colourful feathers) is a Rhode Rock and Gingie (ginger colour) is a Columbiam Blacktail.
They are settling in to their hen house (we got them Friday last week) but we are going to build them a much bigger chicken run which will allow us to get a few more chickens as well.

Lovely that they are all different types! Good luck with your new ladies :)
wow! let's also hope, that the name of famous ruler of the hunnic empire, brave and martial, will ensure laying especially powerful and healthy eggs :)
