Janty Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I was proud of myself this week. I had a phone call from a local breeder. She had sold three pekins to a lady earlier in the year who then discovered that she wasn't destined to keep hens and needed to rehome them. She had my number and thought that she would ask if I was interested. I declined the offer. Then both hubby and the neighbours said that I was mad. Mind you, I did hear the Dad from next door coming home from work before calling,'Girlies, where's my gorgeous girlies' at the chickens.

KimmyCustard Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Silly woman, why is it that people who know nothing about this subject insist on coming out with spiel like she did, ..... it's actually called being prejudiced! Making a judgement about something or someone without being armed with the facts is prejudice. Thats the word I was looking for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenanne Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 She certainly has a great ability to be creative with grammer and spelling. I know my posts are full of typos, but why would anyone send a formal letter with such appalling grammer /spelling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely garden Poet! - and you obviously have close neighbours who haven't needed to complain?, another point to make. In our previous house we lived next door to the neighbour from hell - who also happened to be a solicitor - and even she didn't find anything to complain about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardene5 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 She says shes going to write to me saying I cant have them, so until I get this letter I guess theres not much I can do.But if theres room to appeal then I will Im suprised and a bit shocked actually that Im crying over chickens....at my age...lol.....and never even having owned any before either! But thanks guys for your replies.I guess I just had my heart set on it thats all. Hi She says she is going to write to you. Well look who the letter is copied too because it should give you her line manager/ess. Then you can reply with a copy of a Eglu showing want you were proposing as your hens. Tell them that you were going to share the eggs with others who live next door to you. Tell them that in this day and age when the cost of living is going up fresh free eggs are cheaper that those at the supermarket. Also tell them that you are NOT interested in having a roaster that will go everyone up at the crack of dawn. Also let the local press and local radio know how unkind they are being towards you as you have asked rather than get get the hens etc. Try and get other tenants on your side stating that people around the UK have converted waste land to provide food for themselves and others. Hens are part of this and are easy to keep. Hope the above ideas help.
