'I have had my two hens, Ambrosia and Amelia, for just over a year. They are the funniest, loveliest girls, who brighten my day and never fail to make me smile. Over the wet winter they have loved to dust bath in the greenhouse. My partner is insisting I leave a dusty patch after I have planted the tomatoes so they can enjoy it throughout the year!'

'I have been keeping Silkies and Polands for just over a year. This spring I 'spring cleaned' their run and put in new areas for them to discover. I put in a new chicken cradle for them to investigate and no sooner had I put the "roof" on, then Snoopy, my white Silkie jumped and staked her claim. She is the matriarch of the group and clearly wanted everyone to know this was her spot!' Picture: Susan Pope, Suffolk
'This is Steve, a one-year-old rooster. His main hobby is keeping six hens - Vicky, Scarlett, Ruby, Gloria, Roxy & Darnell - in check and chasing me around the garden. He has a strange sense of humour-as you can see by the picture!' Picture: Geraldine de Búrca, Coole, Abbeyleix, Laois, Ireland
