Thanks for the reply, as we are now seasoned chicken keepers ;D ;D ;D all of 2 months...... we have learnt that they all have very different characters so I now can see the Betty was just setting out the rules. We have in fact doubled our family and that said we have been very good in keeping lots of new interest within the run, which is close by our veggie growing area so we make sure when we dig we give them worms and have even planted up some veggies and greens just for them and they know when we are at that space they are going to get an extra treat. This is a great site for tips and advice and has helped us a great deal, well it certainly has reduced the amount of questions we would have had to ask!
I am also proud to say I am as of today a six a day girl!!!! just 2 more to coax into gear... :D
