Chicken keeping

Keeping chickens is one of the fastest growing hobbies in the UK today, and small wonder. The birds are productive, friendly pets which give you a regular supply of fresh eggs and liven up your garden or allotment with their daily routines.

They are relatively inexpensive to keep but they need a little attention to keep them in good condition.

Before you make the decision to keep any birds, always check with your local authority to ensure there are no restrictions on your property with regards to keeping livestock.
