Feral Chicken cull in Guernsey

Recommended Posts

Have you seen in the news on the BBC website:

 

A flock of feral chickens could be culled because the local authority says they pose a threat to the water supply.

 

'The 50 birds have made their home on the island of Alderney, close to its airport, and are a popular attraction.

 

But the States General Services Committee has said it has strong evidence they are polluting the island's main water source.

 

It said it would be forced to kill them unless someone stepped forward and offered to rehouse them.'

 

Anyone here from Guernsey considering re-homing any?

There are also wild chickens living near Bordeaux harbour, Vale, Guernsey. They run all over the road and chase you for food - and are a danger to cars etc.... They have been threatening to cull them for years!

the cars are more of a danger to the chickens I'd say ;) Very sad that humanity has to stake its claim all over the place, to the detriment of other species.

 

I hope someone can give them a home, how sad :(
