We started keeping chickens in 2006 when Andy bought me two hens and an Omlet Classic Eglu for my birthday! This was when we lived in our old Victorian terrace house before we moved to Hen Corner. Since the move we have upgraded to an Omlet Eglu Cube and have an Omlet Eglu Go that we use for hatching eggs.

I’d love some ducklings, I bet they are really sweet with an Orpington!

I can’t wait until I can have a few hens of my own! We live in Newfoundland, so I’m being very careful about being prepared for winters, but I hope to have a few girls in the next year. I’m so glad I found your blog!
