chickens

[Immenseman]

we're getting some chickens soon lol, does anybody else have any?

[Blinger1]

My mate does, gets heaps of eggs from them too.

[Immenseman]

yeah i gathered they laid eggs, do they do anything else fun

[Blinger1]

By heaps i meant a lot, not just one or two..
They wake you up nice and early ;)?

[Immenseman]

i won't be able to hear mine. yeah we will get their eggs and when they don't lay them any more, they're dinner. my dad said i can't name them else i'll get attached but i'm blates going to anyways.

[Blinger1]

Whats blates?

I dont know why you would get attached to chickens, seriously. Also, if you get some ***** (roosters) they could have babies...

blates = blatently

I like chickens, when I used to work on the farm it entertained me when we'd break their neck and watch them running around with their head hanging off :D

[Black_Apalachi]

omg im not bein funny but this brings back a proper weird story. my old neighbours who were proper hard core chavs right, once they thought it would be clever to get some ducks :S so we had ducks quackig in the enxt garden all day and night. it basically failed cos it ****ted up their garden, then they made a little pond and that got ****ted up cos thats what ducks do so yh fail.


that was off topic soz :( gl wit the chickens, home grown eggs ftw init xx

Oh myy, thats horrible! Serious cringe going on there.

As for the chickens, my neighbour has some and we never hear them or anything, I think they're pretty boring animals really.

[Immenseman]

more reason to be called a farmer too

[Sammeth.]

I had a chicken on Sunday and it was delicious. Are you keeping them to farm for eggs n ting, or meat also? Or just cute lil pets that can be an option if you ever feel starving?

[Immenseman]

excuse me you're GM, you don't post in public forums... :l update your user title too, fgs.

nah, erm we're having them for eggs and then to eat :( but like my dad said we're not allowed to treat them like pets else we'll get too attached so we're not allowed to name them but i want too, we haven't got them yet. we've got the coop and what not but like yeah no chickens as of yet.

[Megan.]

i used have a chicken called henry :') but it ran away ;l

[Immenseman]

well u do have to feed them hun..x

[Megan.]

i did :( but i only had it for like a day, and we just left outside, it had no little coop thing :P x

[Special]

I have 4 chickens and they are all the 'Silky' breed. 1 of them is a minutre silky and theyre very rare apparently :S (http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&safe=off&q=silky%20chickens&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi)

They all lay eggs but the minutures eggs are very small!

Errm, they all have a run and a small shed for when it's winter

awww lol i can't wait to chase mine

[-:Undertaker:-]

We were going to get some and we have the room too, but my mum says its either her or the chickens and we can't cook so no chickens sadly. My dad had them when he was younger in South Africa though, they bought them for what was worth around 5p each from the merchants who sat infront of the supermarkets. Anyway raised them in the bathtub while they were little chicks and they went outside when they were old enough to fend for themselves.

My grandad just fed them all the scraps, bacon rind, leftovers from breakfast - they eat anything. Although I think they went a bit mad in the end because they used to charge at my nan and were very vicous, they had the house next to the school alleyway and the chickens would sit on the wall and hiss at all the kids walking to/and from school. :P

I want ducks when i'm older though, like the long necked white ones with the yellow feet, they are so cute.

that's what my neighbours had. makes no sense in a back garden of like a chav estate.

anyway ducks are a right handful and they'll turn your garden into a pile of **** and feathers. and your neighbours will hate you.

Yeah the neighbour next door told us years ago she used to have a few, came home once and there were something like 24 ducklings all walking around the garden in a line. We have the space, i'd just have to cordon part of the garden off I guess so they wouldn't ruin everything else because all these birds eat like mad. Thats if I live in a house like the one i'm in now when i'm older. :P

I've wanted one ever since on this program one put its head on the womans knee and like its neck was all laid out omg (L)

We have chickens but I have nothing to do with them seeing as how I don't see the point in keeping chickens as pets. I'm sure it costs no more to just buy eggs than it costs to keep chickens.

[Immenseman]

lol my dad and step-mum are just obsessed with being self sufficient. all of our veg comes from the garden and then they will only buy british meat from farm shops. and yeah dan, we've sectioned off a bit of our garden for them. how will our dog and cat react? lol

[-K8T!E-]

I live on a farm so we have loads of them. They're a huge annoyance tbh.

[Immenseman]

omg farmer friend (L)

[Soy]

yeah i gathered they laid eggs, do they do anything else fun
reproduce

[Immenseman]

chickens r female

[Megan.]

omg srsly????

[Richie]

I don't have any :P why are you getting them? for eggs or just to eat? or just for a pet?

A pet ****? haha I'm so mature or is a **** the male version ha haven't a clue.

[Immenseman]

we have them now!! i'll get pics one day

[Melsia]

I used to have 4 Rhodeisland red's but the fox got 3 of them, so I have 1. My advice (though a bit late now) would be to always get them from a trusted breeder, mine were a bit weird because they'd been inbred and stuff we think...

[Immenseman]

urgh lol one just escaped been out there for like an hour or summet it's freeeeeeeeeeeeezing my hands are numb me and my sister were too scared to pick it up LOL

[Nightcrawler]

You've never seen a live hedgehog? I'm amazed.. although they are often squashed but we usually have at least one in our garden each year.

[Black_Apalachi]

Yeah lol I've seen loads of flat ones in the road. Oh I've never seen a badger either. I've only seen one owl in the wild, think it was a barn owl but I'll just say I've seen an owl :P.

[Immenseman]
