Keeping chooks and how rare breeds are being stolen!

You can watch countryfile on bbc i player. It has good information every week and a weather forcast.

It is really interesting watching about the chickens taken and how the price of chickens have rose. It is not far from the start of the programme. Definately worth a watch.

We record Countryfile and I've just seen the article. I knew about the Orpingtons, because it mentioned it on their club site, but it is very worrying about the thefts being countrywide. I feel so sorry for those poor people that have had so many stolen - and the rest of the equipment to boot just adds salt to their wounds.

Perhaps breeders should think of microchipping the birds, and only they can pass the details of the new owner on. Also auction houses should be more aware of who is trying to pass on stolen birds, if that is where they are ending up.
