So, I have my chicken coop, its time to buy some Chickens.
I rang a local breeder (Barry Grey, a very friendly and helpful guy) who nearly tempted me with some lovely White Plymouth Rock Bantams, I also saw a picture of two white Sultans on the front cover of a Poultry magazine, I was defiantly interested in something along these lines. And then noticed some Japanese White Silkies some where on the net and luckily found a breeder in Newark, just a 30 min drive from me. The woman that answered the phone said she didnt have any white silkies but had some blue Silkies. I wasn’t to shore so I had a think about it while on my way to the pet store for some saw dust, food, grit and some feeders.
After I got back in my car with all the stuff I gave the woman a ring back and asked to go view them, about an hour later I'm driving home with a boot full of chicken feed and three 6 month old Japanese blue silkie.
For the first 5/6 hours the chickens barely moved, it wasn’t really until it was just getting dark they all came out and had a peck at the food. As soon as it was dark they all went inside and I shut them up for the night, and was looking forward to letting them out the next morning.
It took them a while to come out again that day which is today, but I was over the moon to here the cock Barney start crowing in his coop, I couldn't believe it was him to start with, half way through the day they were up and about and they even left me a little present’s I was over the moon they gave me my first egg. 
I wonder how many of them they will give me a week.
I found myself sat in the garden watching them for ages today. I wonder how long this will last for.
