Keeping Chickens

We rescued some battery chickens and we named them Nugget, Fluffington, Wendy, Roxanne and Harmonius. We got them a coop and built them a perch out of an old wood shed. Sadly Harmonius died and we buried her in the garden. We averagely get 3 eggs a day so we are making lots of things like cakes, brownies, pavlova and fresh pasta. Some of the chickens had lost their feathers but now they are growing back. We give them water with 2% cider vinegar every day and some chicken food pellets and corn. We also scatter grit made of oyster shells which makes their egg shells harder.
