Hello b_hi.gif I don't know anyone in the area but did a quick google search for you and North Yorkshire Small holders Society might be able to help you according to one website. Do a search and you might find others in your area. Good luck :smt023 Keep us posted :smt024

Build a good sized coop Mark. Chickeneering is very addictive. yahoo.gif

I will build a big coop well actualy its a fence round a shed. I already have a mixed flock but the last old fence fell down so Know my hens are free range and are all over our farm. I will also build some compartments inside it, one to let my Ex Batts recover and also one for my chocolate orpington trio.
