Jamieson), the author and creator of Chicken Pals (now Pentagon Pets).  I&rsquo;ve been keeping chickens for around ten years now and I love everything about them including their quirkiness and the way they just love life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I live with my husband, 3 kids a dog and a growing population of chickens.  We are lucky enough to be able to graze our chickens on common land where we live and they love it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years we&rsquo;ve spent time learning lots about chickens and how to keep them, it&rsquo;s been trial and error along the way &ndash; errors being letting them trash the garden.  But we&rsquo;ve learned to develop good routines which keep our chickens happy and healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chickens, in my opinion, are one of the most understated pets, the common misconception is they&rsquo;re just laying machines which don&rsquo;t think or feel much when in actual fact they have the most amazing personalities and most of them love being around people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also take care of ex-battery hens within our small flock which has been a real eye-opener as to just how much chickens get a bad deal when it comes to farming.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing these chickens step out into the open for the first time and foraging for natural food has been one of the most rewarding things we&rsquo;ve ever done as a family.  It&rsquo;s great to know these few chickens can spend their retirement being happy and relaxed in a natural environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I created Pentagon Pets to share our experience in keeping chickens with you, along with some tips and advice on the best way to keep chickens according to your circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you&rsquo;re thinking of becoming a chicken owner, or you&rsquo;re just looking to find out more about chickens <a href=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><strong>read on here<\/strong><\/a> to explore the site and find out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personal qualifications relevant to this website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Level 3 food hygiene certificate<\/strong> (relevant for information on storing &amp; using chickens eggs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default\">\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for visiting Pentagon Pets!
