I could say something about it being a Fr***h recipe, but I don't want to cause offence!!

Would a muzzle work ....... just a thought!

Just like in a restaurant they tell you "Don't touch your plate - it's hot"....... gotta be done!!

The hunting season's just about to start - they can still flush them out, but the hounds aren't supposed to kill them!! We are allowed to shoot them though and give them a lingering death - (don't set me off on this one please..... fishing is the next target I understand) Tally Ho!!

Went out this morning and found the chickens out! I had shut the door last night but not bolted it - both pullets missing, 5 cockerels that I'm trying to get rid of safe and sound One pullet found 100 yds away hiding - other one just feathers both 20 weeks what a b****r!!! Foxy and me have...

Did someone mention Sam Elliott? If everybody gives up smoking where are we going to get voices like that again? Looks change - voices not so much

elderoo Today 6:47 pm I agree, Chrissie, and its a neat point of divergence - likening us to battery chickens. I wonder, though, would you, or any of us, trade that away for survival of the fittest? Better get my teeth fixed!

Pricem11 and elderoo you are both stars! Thanks so much for your time It's just interesting how we try and influence nature which has the upper hand always .......... so many people these days are no more than battery chickens - safe environment - temperature controlled - food and drink on...

You won't get chicks in the post in the UK or find then at the 'feed store'!! But check the small ads board (if they have one) where you get your poultry feed. Look in the local paper for a poultry auction or find out (library?) if there's a poultry club near you you could join; otherwise...

Hello! Some of us around, but we're in the minority! Glad you've come along....... and welcome!

Exactly! There must be chickens in the wild - just like all our garden flowers have a 'wild' ancestor. I can remember a thread here where a newspaper reported a threat to 'cull' neighbourhoods feral chickens.

OK we've had lost of posts and advice about roosters to hen ratios but, left to their own devices, how does a 'natural' flock organise itself assuming a 50/50 hatch? Do things get really bloody (survival of the fittest) or is there a group of lads hanging about .....? I can't believe they just...

Newchickenmom&kids Today 6:35 pm found this.... http://www.dtbcentre.co.uk/andalusian.htm Had to smile thought it all looked familiar - 8 miles down the road from me!!

Just wait - none of my BO's are crowing yet (18 weeks) - Does bromide work for chickens as well?

Well done! Are they going to have a first to lay competition? I'll have a 7 day handicap!!

Here we have the pics: This is Chardonnay (name that Chicken at the Village fete!) and this is Patrick - just LOVE those fluffy feet!!! They were hatched 27th June. Both are starting to get the gold feathering. They both have huge eyes compared with the rest! These are my first posted pics...

Perhaps Maud could become Claude!

Hello Andy, I've got just the thing you want, one male one female 7 weeks (I think) They're currently asleep on the top rung of the clothes horse, but I'll try and get a pic tomorrow, either here or I'll send an e-mail! Nice to have you back! Shame about the orp - I've got 4 to get rid of...

They tell me that the number you introduce should be the same or more than the existing flock, so try a couple of hens first and put them in at night so they all wake up together. When they get on OK try adding the roosters but move everything you can in the coop so it looks different, with a...
