moomin Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The biggest chicken fix I have (apart from my own that is!) are 2 little Bantams that live in a Garden Centre a couple of miles from us. And they're not even for Sale!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwenLdn Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well done for being strong! It must be nice to know there are chicken folk around you should you need anything- they might be able to help- even board them for you if you are away?

HENthusiastic Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 hey Mostin, if you fancy a nice couple of barred wynedottes, you could pick them up on Saturday whilst ShaunW is busy working away in my garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling they are a bit more practical about chicken matters; rather than being omleteer style chicken keepers! However, I'm really luck with a neighbour who loves my girls to bits and is very happy to look after them when I'm away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I must be strong, my next spaces in the eglu now all the girls are going into the cube are reserved for ex-batts. I need to keep focussed on that .

Yorkshire Pudding Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Ooh you naughty girls, if i wan't at a family 'do' on Saturday I'd be tagging along for a look! Shaun, you came over all masterful there! Now that your girls are all roosting together there's no reason not to introduce a few more. Goodness knows you have enough room in the garden. Oops that's me on the naughty step Anyone want to join in a sweepstake to guess how many chickens mostin will take home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 This place is in my village, its only a few hundred yards away but I have been able to keep away (so far... ) http://www.peartreefarmpoultry.co.uk/home.asp I reckon Mostin will add three to her flock as that would be a good number for the Eglu Go Mostin!

shaunw Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think 3 - rounding it up to 10 altogether You lot are terrible I agree with chickvic we should get 3 more............ But those poor girls we intend to get from the BHWT will not be happy if there is no home for them anymore becasue you all gave it away to some random chickens some guy who "is not an omleteer" is selling for profit.... I WANT SOME MORE PRISSY TYPE CHICKENS NEXT and i think its my choice now is it not.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 how far did you travel then to get your girls? to Henley for my first 2, last year. And to Devon for my Pekins. So quite a long way. there are closer places, such as Cotswold Chickens, but that's still over an hour away and they only do hybrids.
