hello from Scotland!
Hi,
my name is Kirsty and I live in Falkirk in Central Scotland. For the first time in my life I have room to grow things having moved to a farm house from a small terraced house. We don't have acres of land, but enough for a huge veggie patch and hopefully a soft fruit area too. I'd really love chickens one day, but it's a lot to think about.
Really love the site!

We just got chickens a couple of weeks ago and I strongly recommend them. It's not really a lot to think about. I mean, if you fancied getting a rabbit you wouldn't go "Oh, I dunno, it's a lot to think about". But that's just because you know people who have a rabbit. You may have had a rabbit yourself a few years ago. So you know what's involved.
Well chickens are no more bother than a rabbit. Plus you get eggs. I've turned into a real chicken evangelist and already one of my neighbours is building a henhouse. This time next year I bet half the street will have them.
