tom123 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Check this out!

Ygerna Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Well, its certainly interesting how someone who professes to be a writer can write so much inaccurate material. I dont think he 'lies' I think he truely believes it to be correct. No wonder no one wants his article about dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoebe Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 the guy is a moron, and he cannot write a decent piece of argument to save his life. Interesting question is why he thinks anyone cares what he thinks ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fowlbird Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 children get head lice from chickens. the same is said of hedgehogs, oddly enough keeping a single chicken is cruel. anyone here keep a single chicken? You cannot keep a cockerel in a suburban back garden. I bet he also believes that to get eggs you need a cockerel Chicken-keeping always involves chicken wire, unless you propose to clip through the wing ligaments with a pair of cutters to stop your chickens flying. the only bit cut through is like a finger nail Chickens attract rats I've said it before and I'll say it again. Her Maj (Gawd bless 'er) doesn't keep chickens but SHE HAS RATS AT BUCK HOUSE! Chickens have to be shut in at dusk. Every day. Without fail. done Chickens have to be let out at daybreak. done Chickens go broody there are ways of managing this, I don't know any because I've never had a broody hen Even just one chicken will trash a back garden. then again, we have Omlet and walk-in runs and all sorts Children do not like chickens no one told the kids around here that Chickens do not like kids no one told our chickens that he's a eejit isn't he?

Snowy Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I think it's a bit of plagiarism anyway. I've read it before (probably on here ) I'm sure it was in a magazine article as we had the same discussion about it then Only one ignorant opinion.

Janepie33 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ummmmm. Sorry if I offend anyone, but I think he was joking! I think lots of what he said was quite true. - Not the head lice bit and cutting through tendons obviously - which makes me think he has at least a little bit of knowledge about chickens. My garden HAS been trashed (well the half we gave to the chickens) and it is also mud in winter, dust in summer. Foxes - we all know about those. Lots of people don't realize chickens hate to be on their own or need to be in at dusk and out at dawn. Give the man a break. He prefers dogs!

Clur Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I took it as being tongue in cheek...hope it's meant to be like that, think he was having a pop at chicken-keepig being fashionable. . . . . . . . ...and my boy loves his pet chickens. And his dog loves his pet chickens (though admittedly for differing reasons!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
