The big shops are on the web in google, but the small guys aren't. So I've created a website for beginners which I hope will eventually list all the suppliers - www.keepchickens.info. If you are a supplier you can register free or pay for a bigger/more prominent ad cheaply. There is a £10 discount for users of this forum. The code is "pkisgreat" Please comment on the site and tell me about any errors. I'll be adding more breeds when I've taken photos etc. Thanks Back to top George Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 5661 Location: London Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2005 7:35 pm    Post subject: Wow, Nice site, easy to navigate, and I'm sure it will be a great help to the novice chicken keeper Well done Back to top andym01480 Joined: 29 Aug 2005 Posts: 132 Location: King's Lynn Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2005 7:44 pm    Post subject: Thank you!

I'm toying with the idea of getting chickens - get each of my 3 kids to pick one, building a coop/run etc and would just like to say THANKS! Lots of useful info and definitely helping me to make my mind up! Cheers Mick Back to top summayah Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 4289 Location: luton Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2005 11:52 pm    Post subject: You do of course realise it's very addictive don't you, Mick? I started with 4 and in no time at all had 22 ! So just make sure the house and run are plenty big enough unless you fancy building another house a month or so down the line!

Make sure you build the coop with plenty of growing room!

During the day they will be allowed out into the small garden - just for some different stimulation really? I think this area is too big (for 3 chickens) but I'm not prepared to get chickens if they won't be happy! Still gotta make it all but I'm getting closer to firm plans and ideas. Won't be sorted for a few months yet but you can certainly expect some questions until then Thanks for the welcome into the forum...there's even a 'welcome Mick' thread! How cool is that! LOL!!

Started with four - currently got 18 and am scheming about hatching some eggs!! Never in this world thought Chicken keeping would be SO special! I visited my girls 3 times on Christmas day (outside of the normal feeding a closing up times!) And even got them an iceberg lettuce for a Christmas Present!!!! LOL Welcome to the mad world Mick! Debs ~P.S My three year olds love them too!!! And shout Goosey Goosey as they throw them their bread!
