PLEASE SIGN IN IF YOU HAVE CHICKENS

[tortoiseSHELL]

I'm still campaigning for a 'chicken' topic - I think MNHQ have said it is too much of a 'minority' topic. But, there seem to be loads of us. So please sign in so I can see how many there are! Thank you!

yes i do and think we should definitely have a topic on them and maybe'smallholding' too/allotmenst similar kind of threads so the ducks etc can have a place too

I am GentleOtter and I have chickens.

I HATE being put into 'Ethical' living.

I have 2 chickens, 4 bantams and 4 bantam chicks. If DH had his way we'd have much much more...

Yes, I think really Gardening should be split into

Gardening; gardening
Gardening; allotments/food production
Gardening; livestock

That would be fine!

MEEEE!
I have 27 and a rooster.

what kind of bantams do you have? we need to replace ones eaten by the fox: had belgian d'anjou, pekin, wyndotte, something and 2 i cant remember they were so old! what are silkies like?

oh yes and thinking of getting a pair ofgeese, anyone have these?

Ours arriving shortly.

They are going to give it a go tortoise - see the Caitlin thread.

Can I sign in? We don't have any chickens yet, but it is something dh and I have talked about for the past year, and I am willing to bet good money that by next spring we have our very own chucks.

So a chicken topic, perhaps merged with a veg growing topic (as in grow/rear your own food topic) would be very very very handy.

So please MNHQ, give us chicken lovers a little section? [pleading emoticon]

Yay from Justine! here

I have fowl envy so would welcome the chance to keep up virtually with everyone's eglu in one place

I feel like a hardened campaigner now!!!! And a result! Now everyone, this is a 'trial' justine said, so we've GOT to use it!!!

Happy!

And me.

Who is going to be the Chicken Elder?

oh we will! hurray

You won't have them for long. Mwah ha ha.

I've got chickens! Been keeping them for the last 7yrs (not the same ones obviously).
Lots of free, fresh eggs for familly and neighbours.
Great alarm system, as they go nuts if anything unusual is going on in the garden.
But i've only got 2 left as my 6yr old "fluffy" died last month.
AB

Yes and I'll have the others.

Hey, Foxy - fancy coming to mine for roast chicken later?

I have the oven warming up as we speak

ah Reynard me old mucker.
