Hi, we are thinking of getting chickens, have the garden prepared, and i have my eyes on a great ark from woodenart! My DH thinks we should wait for the spring as too cold / dark soon to be getting chickens in the autumn? Is there a "best" time to start with chickens? I know they lay less in the winter, but is there any other advantage / disadvantage to waiting till the spring?
Also, does anyone know a good supplier of chickens/equipment in the north west?
Ta!
