ok, so many of you have helped me out on my choice to get chickens, and i have everything sorted out, but one thing-my mum. she is the only obstacle in my way so heres my routine- (me looking very sad and depressed) then mumm asks- 'whats wrong megan, you dont look yourself today' then i say- ' i just cant stop thinking about them chickens.....(sad face)' she will say- 'well your not bloody having them i'll tell you that!' i say- (in sad voice)' i know, i know...' sigh ' i just cant stop thinking about how well fertalised the garden will be, and all those frech eggs.....how about you think it over mum, just have a look on the forum-backyard chickens, it will tell you everything' TADAA! obviously it wont be so dramatic, and will probable go hideously wrong but anyway- TADAA! ;D but i will walk away before she has time to answere the last section! hahhaha will wait until she is ina good mood though
