How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[mostin]

You don't live near poached egg do you?!

 

Or could this be the new way to meet chicken owners in your neighbourhood: quietly release your well trained chook, under careful, covert observation and see how many chicken lovers (hopefully) emerge...

 

Ok, off to bed now, clearly loosing the plot!

 

, trained, stealth chickens. Can't you just imagine it.

I wouldn't mind but it was only diet coke.. my typing is shocking

[Redwing]

Loving it! most fun since the 'dogs eating chicken poo' thread

[Mrs Webmuppet]

Even Mr W knows the COF rules.........................not that any are likely to turn up round here, we are the only people with chickens on the estate I think!

I had a Budgie of Fate once. A beautiful little blue and white female. She had dreadful scalyface when we found her which we treated. Despite local adverts, "Ooops, word censored!"ody ever claimed her so we kept her. She was so tame and used to sit on my shoulder when I wandered around the house and even flew down and bathed in the sink when I was preparing the veggies for tea. I was so glad she flew into our lives.

 

Still waiting for my CoF though.

We once had a cat who would regularly come and stay for a few days, much to the disgust of the rest of the menagerie. He didn't have a collar but was obviously well cared for - it turned out that Hudson's owner was away a lot and although someone looked in to feed the cat, Hudson had decided that he really wanted a proper home life and would move in with us for a bit. Rosie was devasted when his owner moved away, we still keep in touch though and get a Christmas card from Hudson every year

I spent all of yesterday complaining at work at how I had missed out on my C.O.F.

 

For some reason I got some really strange looks , plus people just don't believe you can find chickens wandering the streets.

 

I really had them laughing at the rules of finding a COF though. It's a good job they love me, or I think they'd be very worried

[mostin]

Just to update you all................

 

I called at No. 34 on Thurs afternoon. Various dubious reasons for my visit . I was hoping to make a new chook friend and have a look at his set up (I'm always interested to see other peoples set ups), I wanted to know if anybody had claimed her, and if they hadn't I suppose I was secretly hoping she wasn't fitting in with his chooks and might have to come live with me .

 

"Ooops, word censored!"ody has claimed her yet, but he has put posters up in all the local shops. People keep knocking on my door and asking if I've lost a chicken. I really had no idea so many people knew I kept them, I really have become the mad chicken lady .

 

I didn't get invited in to see the lady in question or the rest of his girls , but he said that she's settled in fine with no fighting or pecking at all. I suppose not everyone is as friendly as omleteers are . At least I know she's safe and sound, and was all tucked up warm with other chooks in last nights frost.

[The Dogmother]

See, if he was an Omleteer you've have been invited in for tea and cake

, I know, and it would probably have been home made lemon drizzle cake, yum yum.

What a shame

[The Dogmother]

Talking of hospitaitly, we went up to see Tiggy this afternoon and to collect a wormery; lovely cuppa Tiggy, and great to see your girls

[Minnie the Moocher]

Aha - thanks for explaining the C.O.F rules.

 

What is it with those? I saw three ginger girlies on the road the other day, and as I slowed down they popped through a gap in the hedge and I could see an ark. I was so disappointed! In three short seconds I had planned where they could live until they settled in with my girls and had worked out that they would fit nicely in the dog crate in my boot.

wild chickens flying around in the woods near Broughton, Lincs.

[The Dogmother]

There's always 'Cock Roundabout' in Bungay

[Minnie the Moocher]

OK fowlbird and Claret. Explain.

[Falkor]

There's always 'Cock Roundabout' in Bungay

 

Apparently, so family legend has it it was my great nan or maybe great great nan that started feeding Chicken roundabout in Bungay! She used to walk over and feed them although I don`t think it was the roundabout as it is today. Thats a bit modern day!

 

It is a big roundabout with chickens on it!

 

We drove past the other week and looks like council have cut all the trees/bushes back so all the chooks were having a whale of a time scouting through all the cuttings for creepy crawlys! They are loads there!!! I am always a bit concerned that there will be splat chicken as they just wander across the junctions completly unconcerned that there are cars!

Cock Roundabout is in Bungay, Suffolk, very famous as everyone goes there to 'dispose' of unwanted cockerels - they all live there, fed by well wishers and roosting in the surrounding trees - it makes quite a sight.

 

Great for traffic calming too when they wander across the intersection.

[Minnie the Moocher]

 

good grief!

[The Dogmother]

Here's a picture.. not the best but the only one I could find

 

[mostin]

Wow , what an amazing place.

, nice to see your getting into the spirit of things Minnie. My OH thinks we are all chicken theives at heart , I take offence at this, we all just care so much that's all

I was so intrigued about the Bungay roundabout that I Googled it and found that there was a Chicken Protest Song written when they were going to 'do away' with the roundabout's inhabitants, link to it is *here* to a BBC radio article plus here is a cartoon made by the song's writer too. Next time I'm in the area I must track it down

That picture doesn't really do it justice TBH, the person who took it said on their album that it was taken at dusk as they were going to roost. During the day, the roundabout and verges are full of beautiful cockerels and it's a sight to behold; well worth a visit.
