    Silvercharming, we had plans for a smallholding (still do) but then thought why wait til we can afford more land? Let's just start it in the garden we have, but on a small scale. So we did :D As chooks are part of the smallholding plan, he can hardly argue about having them here :D

    'Scuse me for butting in :) We've had chickens most of the time since 1996, and always in a small garden in suburbia. They really are great to have around! The first egg is always special and I have a photo of ours, laid by a Maran in about September of '96. Brill for cooking with, but wait a few days before having them as boiled eggs as they're too fresh to peel easily.

    We want a smallholding when we move, hopefully we'll get there. Good luck with yours!
