hello I'm near Southampton and I am glad to find a friendly chicken place I keep just a few pet chickens - totally spoilt bantams at that! I hope to gather more and more and more .... discreetly of course, so the husband never quite realises until we have LOTS and he didnt see it coming

Haha, we're in a mid-terrace in Witney, don't think I can get away with a massive accumulation. Yours really are spoilt if they live indoors (love your picture)!

For a treat, mine enjoy a bit of corn some afternoons, and I also feed them a mealworm/seed mix as a treat. I am trying to make a slug trap that keeps the slugs alive, so that I can slug-harvest at night ready for their treat in the daytime

Not sure they'd go for slugs that have been in a beer trap!

they dont always live indoors but have learnt fast indoors has the possibility of cake crumbs!! I cant tell you how fast a pekin can run for cake crumbs!!

Does "I would LIKE to be in England" count!?

I'm with you. For now I'm stuck in the states counting the days until I'm 22 and can ship off for medical school in the UK and never return home.

I'd love to visit the States (once spent an afternoon in Buffalo, if that counts for anything).
They say the grass is always greener on the other side.... this might actually be true due to all the rain we get here! If you like rain, welcome to the UK, you'll love it!

We should sort out some 'house swops'. Then we can go on holiday but still have someone competent to look after our chickens!

Yes! Southwest of England, Somerset.

More commonly known as farmer land

Farmerland born and raised ;-) although I live about 5 minutes from our town centre so no farming for me. Boo!

And thanks!
