Chickens

I'd love to have chooks!!

Me to but dh is having none of it

I'm going to have a look at the eglu's. I haven't thought of keeping chickens, but I do know someone who does keep 2 in north london. Not too sure what the neighbours would think and I have seen a fox in the middle of the day walking through my garden.

I wish we could have some chickens, but we will have to wait until we have got a place of our own. I used to have some when i live with my mum and dad, i also had a couple of pet turkeys. They were the best pets i've ever had

Noooooo turkeys scare me!! We went to a local wild animal rescue and they have two massive turkeys. they just followed us around, really slowly, just staring at us! They were like zombie turkeys or something. was terrifying!

We have an eglu, I found it on eBay .. 6mths old for just under 200

We keep saying we're going to buy some but never get round to it Maybe this year

Zombie Turkeys!!

Chickens are brilliant, they don't trash your garden any more than rabbits or guinea pigs do really, as long as you've got a run that you can move around the lawn regularly so they don't turn one spot into something looking like the Somme.

I really need to get some more!! My two girls are getting on a bit now in terms of hybrids (they're 3 years old now) but are still laying pretty regularly. I'm tempted by some purebreeds next time, I really like the look of Buff Orpingtons, they look so cuddly!!
