Tessa the Duchess Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I hope "Ooops, word censored!"ody else has posted this. I have just been reading through a thread on the Moneysavingexpert forum. Some of these people have some pretty weird ideas about keeping chickens It is an unmoderated forum so it gets a bit 'nasty' occasionaly. It is also a VERY long thread:roll: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=679695 Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I dont go anywhere but here !! (RC scared the pants off me! ) "there's no place like home" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I haven't the energy...or the time for another forum. As Chelsea says.....there's no place like home. I've peeped at one or two others, but can't understand the need for the unpleasantness. I'm sticking with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I only go to the other forums to look at the for-sale ads, e.g. on pekinbantams.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Pig farm Jamie had the brilliant idea of getting hundreds of ex battery chickens and keeping them for eggs, they didn't last long, he killed the lot. ??? That was what I was trying to say by luring you all to just take a look at this thread Some of the misconceptions these people have about chickenkeeping is just weird. You should read the posts about ex batts It is not a chickenkeeping forum, it's the moneysaving forum, but they just all got talking about keeping chickens and saving money Some brave soul did put them right about the costs involved with chickenkeeping. Oh well if I can't tempt you to read it, goes off in a huff Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xScrunchee Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Well, I had a look but only read the first few pages as I find it all too irritating when people lecture others about things which they clearly know NOTHING about Some people are so I think I'll stay here in future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farrowy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Just had a quick peek and read: "Problem for us was that we also got a bantam cockerell (Henry), who could 'crow for England'. This did annoy one of the neighbours, who complained to the council. Someone came to visit us, but said that, as long as we kept the noise down, there was no problem in keeping chickens. Needless to say, 'Henry' was painlessly 'dispatched'. " Poor Henry!! My Henry is also a bantam cockerell who likes to stand on a tree stump in the garden and crow - but if anyone did complain I couldn't and wouldn't just 'off' him without a second thought!!! The tone on that forum upsets me - I'm definately an omleteer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
