Hi

I've just come to the forum for the first time today and I just wanted to introduce myself. I have just created some veg and fruit beds in my garden and adopted some ex battery hens to start on my path to the "good life". I'm a complete novice so I'm gonna be pestering you all. It just started on seasonal tips so check out my post and HELP.
So hello all and thanks in advance for any help you all give.

Regards, Ian (Rooster)

We've had our 4 chickens for about 4 months now Grock and have had lots of help from a great forum (See Link Below) :D

I have had a very steep learning curve so far and will be happy to help if you decide to get your own. :shock: It has been very rewarding also as we rescued some battery hens with the aid of the battery hen welfare trust.

Dear Rooster, sorry it's a little late but a very warm welcome from me too.

This is truly a lovely gardening website with a vast range of people on it, there are even a couple of shy and quiet people on here, me being one of them. :) :wink:

Loved your garden photos on the other topic by the way.
Keep enjoying your garden, theres a lot of pleasure to be gained from them. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

There's no fool like an old fool.
