Clarabelle Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hi there, Just had to share this. Oh how my life has changed since keeping chickens. I found myself ringing my mum yesterday morning to offer her partner a bag of chicken poo for his vegetable patch. She said he would be delighted to receive such a thing and in return he has a a bucket of slugs and snails that need, ahem, disposing of! I just know the girls will go mad for them Who would have though that I'd be trading chicken poo for a bucket of slimies Very bizarre!!

Egluntyne Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Bartering and trading predates money! Sounds like you have both got a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I've negotiated a night off leading the Youth group in exchange for a bag of hen poo.

Clarabelle Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Well, my mum's partner happily took his bag of chicken poo and aubiose away with him tonight and the girls had a few slugs and snails from the ice cream tub full that he bought them Just when I thought it couldn't get any more gross, today my nearly 3 year old son decided that he was going to wee in his watering can. First of all I was a bit annoyed, but then I thought ... "I know what I'll do, I'll use his wee as a fox deterrent" and so I watered the garden with it. It's a slippery slope...
