Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Check your title - I was wondering why on earth they have a MONKEY supplement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Ah. Yes. Wishful thinking. I shall email them immediately and tell them that they really SHOULD have a monkey supplement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Interesting article. Obviously for an omleteer it doesn't rave about the joys of just watching your chooks mess about, or cuddling them , but it's an intereting financial report. As they say, all PR is good PR and eglu got a nice mention. But it says according to omlet you need to set aside 6 x 8 metres for 2 hens? Where has this info come from? those are some lucky chooks indeed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 maybe they are talking about free ranging area? or area to move eglu around the garden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 An interesting article - I don't think I've made (or saved) any money from keeping hens, as I give most of my eggs away to friends, but then the pleasure of being able to give them to people is worth a lot! Maybe if I'd stuck to 1 x Eglu and 2 x chickens I'd be in profit. I blame you lot on here, with your talk of extra chickens and Cubes and walk-in runs ... I daren't add up what I've spent in the last two years of chicken-ownership but it would take a lot of eggs to pay it off! Especially when the little blighters are on strike, I only have two out of five laying regularly at the moment. The rest of the article is good, about bees and vegetable-growing. Makes it all sound very easy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
