The Poultry Pages Backgarden Chickens Other Poultry For Back Garden Small Scale Poultry KeepersJohn Harrison and HenWhen I was a child I came home with a book Poultry Keeping for Beginners – which stated ‘All you want to know about poultry keeping whether you start with day old chicks, 8 16 or 20 week old chickens or pullets in laying condition’This was not well received by my parents who felt getting me to clean out the rabbit hutch was work enough and the book went to the shelf.Then, in the 1970 s, I came back from a holiday in Wales with the Backyard Dairy Book and the Backyard Poultry Book.Dreams of a smallholding, milking the cow and eating eggs still warm fresh were not, sadly, to become reality although some backgarden chickens soon appeared to amaze the neighbours who loved the eggs. Farewell Charlie Chicken Three We've lost Charlie Chicken Three. It's all very sad but you have to accept that you'll lose pets and there's nothing you can do about it. Rockettes Settling In, First Egg Arrives! Black Rock pullets settling in with the Nova Browns and Norfolk Grey hens. First egg arrives from the Black Rocks. New Hens Black Rock Pullets We've got some new hens. 3 pretty Black Rock pullets who are are settling in although the existing flock are determined to prove who is the boss. Farewell Queen Charlie We lost Queen Charlie Chicken tonight. She had prolapsed badly and didn't respond to treatment. To be honest, it was really a forlorn hope. Charlie Hen has Prolapsed One of the three Charlie Browns has suffered a vent prolapse. This is very serious and we may well lose her if she doesn't respond to treatment. The Allotment PoultryFast-forward to a 14 years ago and I took on my allotment. Growing my own vegetables and actually becoming self-sufficient to a degree fanned the smouldering dream back into life.After this there was a bit of a battle with the local council, which resulted in permission to keep poultry on the allotment. Our small back garden wasn’t really suitable for a number of reasons but mainly our cats.It s not that the cats would hunt the chickens but that the cats are phobic about large birds after living for three years by the seaside and being subject to attack by seagulls. Hence the great keeping chooks on the plot war with the authorities.Now we have the place in the country we dreamed of on our honeymoon and our grown-up daughter and her family live nearby to us in Wales. She s quite an expert on home poultry keeping having had flocks of chickens, ducks and quail in her back yard in Yorkshire and so is now setting up our poultry enterprise on the smallholding.Our Book For Back Garden Poultry KeepersBetween us we wrote the popular Backgarden Chickens and Other Poultry for people like us starting on the poultry keeping road.Where to Buy Chickens, Ducks Other Poultry?  Turkeys, Geese, Live Hatching Eggs, Bantams POL HensBecause I kept getting asked Where can I get some chickens? I came up with the breeder s lists to help both keepers and breeders. We ve got 656 breeders listed now, split up by what they offer and where they are. So now you can find a local supplier.
