The Dogmother Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Another Chicken of Fate.. they know who the best chicken family is and they seek you out; don't try to fight it Slim. Seriously, she may have fallen off a lorry taking ex-batts to the abbatoir - it does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 It is not with me she is with a old couple up the road! My dad was walking to tesco and saw a sign saying chicken found. He called me up and said you might want to go have a look. She is a RECOVERED EX BAT! very tame. I have said that it is not good for her to be alone for any lengh of time I have said I will take her but thay have become attached. I am popping over with some grit and other bits later for them.

Clur Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hey Slim, whereabouts in Bracknell are you? I'm another Bracknell one (and just counted to make sure my three are still safely in the garden ) If they need any corn etc for her, I am happy to help too!

Slim Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 I have just got a e-mail from the lady looking after her asking if i can look after the chicken for 4 days as she is going away. I am now quite annoyed with her as I have said I would look after it properly she don't seem to understand that you can't just put chickens together and you don't live well alone.

The Dogmother Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Good for you Slim, at least if she stayed with you she'd be well looked after, but if you don't have any alternative housing then it'd be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 If you're stuck for housing, I may be able to loan you a Mk 1 eglu & run for a short time. I used it when I got my new girls but as they are all living together in the cube now, it is currently empty. You could then say the chicken really likes living with your others & must stay!
