Over the last few years, chickens have been making a bit of a come back to our gardens and there are more and more people in Cheshire looking at keeping a few hens for eggs at home!

For many people, seeing their chickens scratching around the garden looking for bugs or worms is very relaxing. Many chicken fanatics started with just a few chickens for eggs but ended up getting more, not because they needed more eggs but because they enjoy keeping them so much.

 

 

Before you take the leap and get your first chickens, there are a few questions you should ask yourself…

• Are there any legal restrictions on keeping chickens at my home?
• Do I have enough time every day to keep chickens?
• What will happen when I am on holiday?
• How much does it cost to feed them & look after them?
• Have I got enough room in the garden to keep chickens properly?
• Will predators be a risk to my chickens?
• Does anyone in the house have a phobia about birds or feathers?
