chickens

[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?

excuse me you're GM, you don't post in public forums... 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.

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

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.

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.

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)
