It strikes me that our chickens have us very well trained. We feed them , pick up their poop , care for them when they are sick and worry about them when they are out. All they have to do is do what comes naturally , lay an egg and we are eternally grateful. I do all of the above for my teenagers yet no egg!

Actually, until yesterday, the thing I liked most about chickens was that they go to bed when the sun sets and STAY there all night. It's wonderful! They also came when I called them today. They had gone around the back of the house & when I found them they raced over & followed me back to their coop, which they then obediently went into & happily ate their snack instead of turning their noses up at it. If only my kids would do any of those things!

We are slaves to the flock, maybe thats why we get so hung up on the egg wait lol

I agree with everyone. We sure are slaves to our flocks. If I don't go out with treats for the Belgium's by lunch time they are up on the window sill tapping away til I bring them something. I also tell them each day how proud I am of my clever little ladies when they lay me a tiny little egg... Lucky I am on acreage heavens knows what my neighbours would think

Hello

.

Does anyone know a good classifieds site other than Gumtree?
I am looking for a chain link dog cage, so something more pet or livestock orientated?

Grays online are OK, but fairly hit & miss if you're looking for something specific.
