farrowy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Just been googling for some chicken infomation and came across this very anti-chicken keeping rant. Cripes - this lady really does not like chooks!!!! http://www.samantha-david.com/secret-cevennes-4.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 she doesnt really know a lot about chickens either! Chickens dont dig that deep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 It might be a funny article if she'd done her homework. I'm all for a balanced argument but she's talking out of her vent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 All chickens have head lice ? Has she seen the size of a chicken's head? It's hardly bigger than a headlouse . (That's not true, is it?? ) Quite amusing to read ..... if it didn't concern chickens . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleur Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 she does sound like a bit of a silly wench, but still at least she mentions that keeping one chicken is mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Huggers R Us Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 What an utter ignorant muppet! Maybe she should read a few of the threads on here to see if chickens don't like this that or the other, and to say kids don't like chickens and chickens don't like kids is ludicrous, take a look at loads of the photo's in the galleries. What an idiot she has made me blow steam out of My vent!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flo Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 For someone who writes for a living it is a very misinformed article! My OH is a hairdresser so I will be telling him about the head lice bit as he is a bit of an expert! I think lots of humrph noises will follow...

Nuggywoo Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I thought it was funny! It wasn't a serious article - she hasn't any work, wants people to notice her and what better way than to 'rubbish' chickens, especially with all the publicity they've been getting recently. Just off to the pharmacy for some shampoo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 What a twit - I could write better articles than that - and so could the rest of you ladies and gents (young and old - er)! I notice the article is protected by copywrite - who in their right minds would want to plagiarise that load of C**P?! As for head lice - pooh, been there, done that and they don't come from chickens or any other animal - BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMAN LICE!!!!!!!! Chickens only have head lice - does that mean that the big container of louse and mite powder that I bought will only need to be put on the chickens heads - all those with Cream Legbars - I'll have plenty to spare! And it looks like her roots need touching up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve. Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I found that it was a funny, tongue-in-cheek article to rib all chicken owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I also think it was a funny, meant to make chicken owners ruffle their feathers in indignation, but not seriously meant to offend... it sounds like the woman did a quick read through a brief chicken intro, picking a few keywords, then making the article up, not to be taken as knowledge, but to be taken as 'useless banter'... Practically everything she says is wrong (apart from don't keep one chook alone), she doesn't know about chooks and doesn't want to know... she just wanted to write something quick and hoping for some reactions... for someone to say 'we don't approve of dogs as pets', is equally ridiculous in my opinion... each pet can be right in the right condition... Maybe she watches too much top gear... it's the kind of arrogant humour jeremy clarkson usually uses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Stupid silly woman, of course chickens are cuddly!! I cuddle mine everyday!! and they don't run away from kids either, they come running!! Shes talking out of her bottom!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Okie... kids don't like chickens... in fact they hate chickens, can't stand them, are scared of them, won't go anywhere near them, and run a mile at the side of a chook.... here is the proof : I think DD4 could say 'chicky' and 'eggy' before she could say 'mama' (To reassure everyone out there, she was heavily supervised when she picked up the chook... we don't encourage or usually let her pick them up and carry them, for fear she might grab too hard and harm them, but that day she approached one so confidently, bent down, hugged it, and the chook just let itself be picked up in her arms... there are three older kids right out of the pic border ready to pounce in, and we did have to get her to let go two seconds later as one little hand got a little too tight on Nugget's (or was it Mac, can't remember) breastbone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Does she work for the Maily Dale? (edit:not referring to the little lady above ) She is certainly retarded enough. She has done some research though, head lice from chickens! hasn't she heard of MAN BIRD GLOBAL WARMING AVIAN FLU Dogs are much cleaner than any other animal of course, watch how they greet each other before allowing one to kiss your face. And don't even start me on cats, fish, newts, or salamanders. My ferrets simply wouldn't sleep. Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph101 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 What a stooooopid cow! Dogs don't provide food for you, and you certainly can't use their manure for your veg and compost! And what does she mean, 'chickens don't purr?'. Ours do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Wow, what an article. It should win some kind of award. Preferrably one so heavy she puts her back out lifting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
