    Who keeps Chickens? how many and in what?...

    Something I've always been meaning to try is a plastic strip curtain in front of an open plan nest box, which is 'supposed' to reduce the hen's desire to head for the furthest, darkest, corner.

    Chickens!

    The first possibly a Leghorn - as could the second one. But the second could also be a Welsummer (the female next to it might confirm that).If the last one has five toes, it's a Dorking!

    chickens

    I agree, chickens are not that difficult to look after - a secure, dry and draught free place to sleep, a secure run to roam and scratch and food and water.
