Well, it's interesting. I'm not that great at the tact and diplomacy bit. I've got opinions and I'm not shy about letting them be known. Fortunately I think C understands this. Yep, we clash. But, C does understand that my interest is in the chickens welfare and what's more I am as reliable as they come. I do what I say I will and now that I've moved and travel eight miles a day to get there it would be hard to fault my commitment.So you're still on talking terms with C. . If she and others acknowledge the chickens improvement hopefully she may be open to understand that what she has been doing with them was not sufficient for their well being?
At the beginning of the thread you mentioned several times that she didn't have sufficient time to take care properly of the chickens. How does she feel about your involvement, relieved that you are helping, or angry because she feels you're giving her lessons?
Not that I'm interested in her psychology but since she has the poultry keeping licence much seems to depend on her regarding the evolution of the ex-batts fate.
Given it is supposed to be a community concern with community decision taking and given that the majority of those involved live withing easy walking distance and can't be bothered to make time to take care of either the plots or the creatures they've all agreed to, I am led to believe, then it's pretty difficult to find fault with me.
The answer is pretty simple. If anyone doesn't like what I do then come and do something about it. Of course, it's one thing bitching on the social media they frequent, but altogether another matter getting off their arses and actually doing something to change things.
Much like here on BYC, I'm not there to make friends. I'm there because I'm interested in chickens.
What is slowly being accepted is I know what I'm doing and it's hard not to acknowleadge that the chickens are better off from it.
