I am now so obsessed I buy Chicken Magazines...

Recommended Posts

Well I have to admit, I've put in another post that I've joined http://www.smallholderfeed.co.uk ..and recived a lovely folder full of info from them,

 

I've bought Practical poultry and small holders magazines..both great...

 

I am offically obssessed with chickens and chicken keeping...

 

 

 

(my daughter would like alpacas now...we wont be getting them, as we live in a house with garden...

 

I like the look of pigs....

 

Oh to have a house by itslef and a field !!!)

 

 

Does anyone know of any other sites, where you can get chicken freebies and samples, as I would love to get some in the post... (sad I know )

It's very infectious this condition! :shock::lol:

 

I go shooting on a Tuesday eve & between details I sit & discuss chooks, jams, animal thoughts & dreams of small holding where we could keep pigs etc with one of the men there. The others (including my DH!) think we are nuts!! Very often I have mags & share them with him, discussing the merits of each one over another :wink:

 

I'm quite taken with HomeFarmer at the mo, have you seen it yet? Think a subscription may be on my Christmas list! :whistle:

 

Must just go & follow your link..... :wink:

Would love to have alpacas - in my dreamworld! Apparently they are smelly creatures, though I haven't been up close & personal with any except the pristine show variety :roll: who don't appear to smell at all!

 

That cost rather puts the kibosh on any plans I may like to have though. We live in a house which , although the National Trust don't own it, there is a covenant on it, whereby we are not allowed to keep livestock. Just about get away with chooks, but alpacas might just count against us! :doh:

Thanks for telling us about that Cordelia :D I've joined too, regarding the chicken obsession, have you started buying chickenalia yet? Thanks to this forum I now own an egg skelter, lovely bone china mugs, a milk jug, tea towels and oven gloves all with chickens on, chicken egg cups and a subscription to Practical Poultry, and every issue of Home Farmer :!:

 

Through the threads and recommendations on the forum I've also bought a Panasonic bread machine and some Ugg boots. This forum is fantastic for your health but no so good for your wealth.

 

We've also had free Divine chocolate, Ecover washing up liquid samples, Cadburys mini eggs, Jelly sweets and tea bags! :dance:

Smallholders magazines are lethal. I now want bantams, a goat, alpacas, bees, an orchard and more veg patch. I'm so suggestable. Isn't it brilliant?!

 

The bantams and veg WILL happen next year, and the lady across the road is a secret beekeeper so I can help her a bit next year. Goats and alpacas and orchards will have to wait a few years. But then I can spin wool and make cider and make cheese!
