The Journey Begins

After deciding we’d get some chooks, I spent two weeks on the computer researching chickens. I printed off information and visited libraries finding everything I could about them.

Then Lovely Hubby told me he’d seen a sign on a neighbours’ house advertising a chicken coop for sale. My dad is an old country lad so he came over and we went to have a look. The sign was gone, but because Dad had made the effort to come with me, I thought I’d go in and ask anyway. 

The coop had already been sold (was gone in a day), but the neighbours only sold it because they’d upgraded to a larger one.

That was the day I discovered how nice chicken people are. They introduced me to their girls, let me pat them, answered all my dumb questions and gave me websites and addresses of the best places to source what I needed. I think we talked chickens for hours.

Back home I got onto the computer and that night had decided which coop we should get. I placed the order and we were on our way.

Another little baby chook.
