Hello all
A friend of my daughter has had a rather disastrous visit from Mr Fox and he has been left with one New Hampshire chicken. Sadly he is giving up the whole chicken thing, so I'm looking to 'adopt' her. There are a couple of things I hope you wonderful people can help with. I have found completely opposite ‘reviews’ on New Hampshire chickens on the web. Some say they are prone to go broody and make good mothers and are competitive and aggressive with other chickens and others say they are placid and friendly and don’t have a tendency towards broodiness. Oddly enough generally speaking, it seems to be the US sites that say ‘broody and aggressive’ and the UK sites ‘non broody and friendly’. Also what would be the best way to introduce her. I’m thinking of getting another couple of girls at the same time, keep them separated for a couple of weeks so that then I can introduce three new girls instead of one to the flock. (I say ‘flock’, I’ve only got three now!, my last battie die last week
) Any thoughts and advice would be much appreciated, as always.
Many thanks
