What makes a chicken coop easy to live with?

[Cinnamon]

There is a super article on modern chicken keeping in the Mails "You" supplement today.

They interview 4 people,one of whom is a fire fighter who has an Eglu.

He is pictured topless,holding a chicken - lovely photo

 

Anthoy,if you can get hold of a copy do take a look,as it is a lovely positive article expressing all the best points about keeping chickens

I wonder if you can view it online - we don't get the mail

[Cinnamon]

I could try scanning it,but not sure if you are supposed to do that with published work?

 

Or I can do a few photocopies to post out

[Popcorn]

Don't go to any trouble for me Sarah. I'll have a search for it first.

[Cinnamon]

Its in the "YOU" magazine which as well as being a supplement with TMOS is now for sale during the week,so you could pick one up in your local newsagants or supermarket

its worth it for the article alone,as it is a really lovely happy piece

[Popcorn]

Thanks for that Sarah. I'll keep my eyes peeled. Anything that gives the eglu a mention is good, but for it to be a topless fire fighter too is a definate bonus

 

I'll make sure Louise knows about it

My lovely brother is saving me a copy .

[Jacky]

Unfortunately we do not buy that paper!

[Cinnamon]

Unfortunately we do not buy that paper!

 

As I said you can buy this supplement seperately all next week.Its called "YOU"

[Cate in NZ]

I actually rushed out to buy the paper, nice article, beautiful hens, but sorry, I thought the fireman was a disappointment, a bit ordinary really, despite the bare chest. The gingernut that he was holding was very pretty though And not an eglu in sight

[Martin B]

Where can YOU get it from?

[Cate in NZ]

Martin. If you're happy to PM me your address I'll happily send you my copy of the article as I've read it now and don't really want to save it.

[Martin B]

Ok. I've sent you a pm!

[Mrs Blue Sky]

Freeranger I just read your link! Bleurgh! Not happy reading, but necessary - if I want to buy chicken, even free range organic, I need to be real and informed about it.

 

Thank you.

[Louise]

Okay so i just caught up

 

Don't get the mail so no topless firemen for me thie weekend

[Linda]

No Louise, it was for the chicken article!!!!!

[Louise]

Sorry Linda the fireman would have got my interest

 

Chickens what chickens

[Linda]

There's no hope for some of us is there?!

 

It was quite a nice article. What it said to me was that all different sorts of people with varied lifestyles/circumstances could keep chickens quite easily.

[Louise]

Hey I LIVE in hope

 

That fireman is out there somewhere

[Guest]

You didn't miss anything. As someone else pointed out - very ordinary!

[Martin B]

I have just finished reading it, it was quite a nice article and I thought it was intresting how peoples way of life with chickens has varied.
