the chicken topic is my new home...

Re new board.

I'm stunned.

I just told DH I'm stunned.

He said "oooh, that's an idea. We could keep chickens".

Aaaaargh!!!!

I hope you're all very happy together

Why aren't you chicken keeper-y people under 'Feed the World'????

lol peaches, you know you want them.

Well done TortoiseSHELL!!!

Oh, just found this!! Well done TortoiseShell

I shall roost here until I get my chucks, dh very keen too, just need to re-think the space in the garden.

Yippee, and thank you very much MNHQ!

wow

I don't suppose any of you keep geese?

We have geese, Rosa. 3 Embdens.

Chicken Owners Of The World Unite!

Thank you TortoiseShell.

i want embdens or else roman geese but worry about the noise. there is a pair on the allotments in the village and they are lovely but do make a bit of noise!

This should be called Poultry Keepers! Seriously. Look we are talking about geese already, it will be ducks and quails and guinea fowl next....

Have emailed MN to ask (they'll hate me)

omg just gothome from the cinema and found 1 of the three new pol missing! no sign of the fox, i think she's just wandered off. and of course it has to be the one chosen by dd for herself...

oh no!
maybe she is roosting up a tree? [hopeful emoticon]

yeah we looked. took one of the others and carried her around hoping that thye'd call to each other but no look. it's dark now and i'm seriously anxious - only 2 weeks since we lost the last flock to the fox. poor dd

lol pph! I think poultry keepers would be good too!

Ska - oh no! Any chance if she doesn't turn up you can just get a replacement so she doesn't notice?

My dd's chicken died 4 days after we got it which was a bit traumatic. But she was happy with her new one!
