Getting the gear


I had my 60th birthday yesterday and here are some of the presents (with my stuffed chicken - imaginatively called chicken) sitting at the front. The two bins are really for sorting recycling materials but I thought they were ideal for holding layers' pellets and mixed corn so that to get at the underneath one you don't have to lift and shift the one above. There are feed and drink containers, louse and red mite powder, apple cider vinegar, limestone flour and poultry spice. That should start me off.
The hen-house is ordered so should be on its way shortly. It will come flat-packed so when it's erected we can design the run to accommodate it. After that it's time to phone the lady!

They're going to be very happy hens with all the care you are taking.
