Your girls diet is almost the same as ours! Another edition to our hen's diet is soaked wheat grain. They love it, and it increases the the vitamin content for them. Another chicken book you might enjoy is Alana Moore's "Backyard Poultry Naturally". I found it really good when first starting out :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424494318400885717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030861504339238132.post-17142846238123909612013-05-18T05:28:41.537+09:302013-05-18T05:28:41.537+09:30What perfect timing, Zara!

It all sounds wonderful. They look like they all have their own little personalities about them. Lulu's preschool have free ranging chooks.
