My first kitchen table blog...
Keeping chickens is something i have always wanted to do. Unfortunately as we are due to move home within the next 12 to 18 months it is not something we can do at the moment.
When we get our new home i would like to have 3 or 4 chickens to keep for eggs.
I have absolutely no idea what i need, where to get it from and what to do.
How do i move forward from here? How do i start turning this dream into a reality even if i can't actually get the chickens just yet?
My first port of call will be 'The Kitchen Table' I will make some notes from the wealth of information there. I will also go to the library so that i can find information related to my country and maybe even my region.
I 'googled' Chicken Wiltshire and have found a company in Bradford on Avon (15 mins away) selling 'traditional and rare breed' Chickens.
I have also found a store called Countrywide locally that sells chook feed, feeders and drinkers, vitamins etc.
Unfortunately this is not an area that i can bring much to the kitchen table but i certainly can take something away from it!
Hopefully you will see some time in the future a blog about getting my first chickens!!

Hi Stacey, sharing at the table is, in itself, valuable. Thank you for taking part. I hope you have your dream chickens soon.
Hi Stacey - I'm at the same place as you. Wanting to keep chickens but not knowing much about it. But we're lucky enough to be sufficiently settled in Suffolk and will be sorting our our chickens next month. I feel really lucky to have found the Down-to-Earth blog and am glad to have visited you as a result. Good luck in meeting your own dreams.
