Hey, can I get some advice?

Ooh, is it really 49? Wow, I might have to break that one gently to Mum In the form of an extra 30 birds She'd do her nut. I got the last 4 when she was on holiday and wasn't going to tell her apart from one ended up with a broken wing and I couldn't remember which vet we used... It's great to know I could take them in. Here are the hens of concern (cocky at the back lives with me these days). Aren't they gorgeous? I would never go out and buy hens like these because I love my badly behaved ex bats but I do appreciate their beauty and good manners

Lovely hens there and I'm sure they would appreciate being with you I'm sure you could talk your mum round to just the three extra

So I happily said to my mum "you know, I was thinking of getting another few hens. I've been told I can have 30 more". She chirpily replied back "I believe they may frown on that in council housing"

If I can't train my neighbour I am sure she will suffer through another 3 though. To be fair she suffers from seeing next doors exposed as much as I do.

My latest plan is to print out an 'article' which I may have to write because I haven't seen anything suitable about how to look after your chickens now the nights are getting longer and take it round as I know she isn't experienced. Because actually I would love her to succeed as a chicken owner, I just want to slap her a lot right now. Think about it, if I can have 30 more hens, she can have 46 more so that's a lot of hens we could save between us.... As ulterior motives go I have the best one. Even if I do covet her hens on the quiet.
