Quote: So far as I know they don't; it would take a sick and perverse mind to actually come up with that. However, being a person with a sick and perverse mind I could imagine people sewing little numbered jerseys for their hens, lining up opposite a finish line with a bunch of crickets...

I dread the day that my grandparents die. Not just because I am very close to them, but because they have a massive house - 4 storeys, 2/3 large rooms on each plus up two four mini rooms on each floor, plus a mini room inbetween each storey. A total of 19 rooms. Add to this the fact that at 80...

This morning I was awoken by the doorbell at 8am (I'm on summer holidays) only to find that it was the man from ParcelForce who still hasn't grasped the concept that 3 ******* Close is not the same as 3 ******* Cross Road, even if ******* Close is almost impossible to find - we are always...

Quote: The Soaring Society of America tells me that there are 3 gliding clubs in SC, at Jefferson, Ridgeland and Spartanburg. www.glider.org (at Jefferson, various options from $75) http://www.carolinasoaring.org/ (at Spartanburg, flights are $75 and last 25-30 minutes depending on the...

I just hang my clothes up on hangers and then hook them over the doorframe of the 3rd bedroom - we rarely go in there so it works perfectly. There truly is no real need for a dryer unless you live in a really tiny house with no room to swing a cat. Our washer is about 25 years old - we got it...

Just spotted this . . . when you say that reproduction related things are banned . . . does that mean that if I wanted to ask a question about "treading" by chickens, that would be banned? Please remember that I lot of young chicken people are on here because we DON'T have any other people in...

I got my Lily from a farm where it became quite obvious that the old man had more chickens (he said 300+) than he could cope with. From what I could see and what he told me, he had LF Marans, Araucanas and Leghorns. I had gone there with the intention of buying a LF araucana hen. I bought what I...

I have one pullet at the moment, and I used to have a hen until the fox got her She was no louder than any of the others (a Light Sussex and a Wyandotte), she never got ill, and she was my best layer. All round brilliant bird

It probably won't do them any harm, but next time you go, insist on proper grower feed. I'm also paying the equivalent of $15 for 20kg (44lbs) but this is the world where petrol is £1.18 ($2.36) a litre so $8.93 a gallon - high fuel prices lead to an increase in the cost of just about...

It will cost you more to raise it, especially if you are comparing it to chicken raised in a broiler shed (boo, hiss). However, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that it was raised in as cruelty-free way as possible, and I have heard (I'm a vegetarian) that meat from your own chickens...

I fly gliders (sailplanes) although a lot of people tend not to know what they are, so here's a picture: Although you're more likely to find me flying one of these (a training glider, a K13). I haven't gone solo yet due to a broken knee and then exams, which has basically caused me to stop...

I actually had no idea that you have Dr Who in the US. I love it too! There won't be another series until 2010 (when Stephen Moffatt takes over from Russell T Davies) but there will be a Christmas special It's filmed about an hour away from here in Cardiff (the capital of Wales) which explains...

(((hugs))) I know what you mean about wishing time away . . . I'm about to go into 6th form, which I believe is the equivalent of the first 2 years of American university . . . how did that happen? It doesn't seem so long ago that I was picking my GCSE choices (2 years ago) and now I've just...

I'm very jealous of your lawn! Do you ever walk on it?! My dad has spent years obsessing over the condition of the lawn - trimming, aerating, fertilising, herbiciding, you name it he does it. But, alas, the trips down to the greenhouse and chicken coop all year round (especially in the winter)...

Quote: Thatch is basically dry vegetation - straw, water reed, rushes etc. although straw is the most common. Mind you, don't go believing that all of England is olde-worldey-charm - a man pulled an imitation handgun on a teenager a couple of hundred yards away from where I'm sat a few days...
