lightworker01 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 What the hell were they playing at? not only did they just scare monger it, but they didn't say anything about the fact that Omlet chickens are fully vaccinated, they didn't talk about the Eglu, and they then went to a commercial breeder/egg seller! Please everyone, send them another e-mail and ask them why they made it sound like a mine field of disease ridden animals. Very unhappy about this article - I have e-mailed them already and said this (although I forgot to ask them why they spoke to a commercial breeder/egg seller) feelings towards the BBC! Oh yes - WHY did they have to say on TV that I live on a Council Estate - GOITS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 The angle on disease and risk to poultry farmers from our hens was totally ridiulous. What a shame Brian, it had started so well with your interesting email, and the visiting Karen and all. But, then they seemed to forget the original points about backyard chooks, and went off on ridiculous scaremongering. Should have interviewed Johannes about chicken care. I feel really as it went straight from lovely "Good life" gardens and chooks, delicious eggs and Purple Eglu to...Avian flu and Newcastle Disease. Ridiculous, wasted opportunity, and completly ignorant to ask a 6000 flock farmer about people keeping a pair in their garden. What does he know? Email on it's way.

Mrs Frugal Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've e-mailed them as I'm very ! Jayne and Karen, you were both fab - well done! It's a shame they managed to turn your positivity into such a negative piece of TV. Shame on them! I've also locked the other topics so we've just got one thread going. Hope no one minds but it's getting a bit confusing as Annie's pointed out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcat Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I have posted this elsewhere but am struggling to keep up with 4 threads, so ere it is again. I was appalled by the article on urban chicken keeping. as a domestic chicken keeper I was looking forward to a good, well balanced article showing how easy and rewarding it is to keep your own hens and get your own, beautiful eggs. What actually happened was that Omlet (the featured company) were shown only briefly while the barn farmer (who surely cannot check all 6000 of his hens every day as we urban chicken keepers do) had the biggest say and intimated that we urban chicken keepers would endanger the health of his flock. This is not what I call a balanced article and I am disappointed that the BBC would be so one sided. May the hairs in their noses develop in to blistering festering pus ridden boils, all of them!! Can I add my admiration for the lovely omleteers who did so well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
