They are Rhode Island Reds. I knew absolutely nothing about them, they were
a gift. When they arrived I didn't even have anywhere to house them, so I
had to do some very fast learning. I never know if Im doing it right, but
from what you say and others too I must be doing something right. They have
six cats who constantly steal their food and beds so maybe they think they
have something to prove..lol...

Like I said, luck of the Irish!!

As a matter of interest, what are they? No idea if they are still around
but I was running Thornbers 404's and 606's, but that was in the mid to
late 60's.

I did apply for planning permission to put up Chicken Houses with runs
on a piece of land I had when in Leicester, but the neighbours
complained and objected to the Planning Permission so I sold it to a
builder who put 2 blocks of flats on it.
