[chick1]

well last night my DD saw me writing my message on here and told her dad i was doing homework on chickens to which he replied were not having any.(i though whos side is my DD on)but at least im wearing him down a bit

 

why can i have a OH who wants the goodlife

 

hey well more work to do.

[mags]

i took my DH to a hen party at ANH and that changed from a not keen to a maybe to yes

 

 

Chickens are low maintence - well on his part LOL ( i do it all ) and we get eggs

I had to wait until we settled in to our new house and I got my girls as an early birthday present.

 

I had wanted chickens for last few years but never thought my garden was big enought and I was suprised to find ANH garden was about the same size.

 

As I was in process of moving house I waited but If we had not been moving DH still was happy to get the girls

 

good luck

You should see my garden now, Mags . I defy any OH to come away from mine now not wanting chickens .

I got rid of the OH and got the chickens! Bit drastic for you maybe but I love my life now!

I'd LOVE to see my other half try and tell me I wasn't allowed to do something! As it happens I was lucky, I did a bit of overtime and I had a couple of hundred coming so I told her I was buying a hen coop and we were getting chickens. She was so excited about it I thought she was going to explode. She had to go away on a course and when she came home I had chosen our girls and she immediately fell in love with them (and they fell in love with her habit of giving them mealworms frequently).

 

If my OH had said "we're not having them" I'd have said "Correction, you're not having them but it's half my house and I'm bloody having them."

Ok its only my second day with my 3 chickens and got to say compared to the rabbit /horses/dog/ducks(much easier than ducks) I cant understand why i didnt get them sooner. They are so easy!

 

I just put a dish of food and then let them out into their run(all in my dressing gown)

I do work and was out most of the day yesterday. As long as nothing can get in and they cant get out..easier than all the other animals u could possess

 

Do not listen to your old man he does not know what he is on about(I would remove the sky footie and something he has an interest in...soo meanie ................go for it

 

They dont need a lot of room ideal time of year to get them

Have you got a birthday coming up?

That's how I got my first red eglu

[chick1]

haha

 

like that idea of stopping the football(with my OH it would have to be his guitar) or mabe i could use it as a bribary tactic he is respraying one of them at the mo im sure i could buy him new shiny pickups by this fancy maker he keeps going on about(just to butter him up a bit).

 

Also i did think about booking the hols this summer(we always go in cottages)on a small holding farm,you know the type free ranging chickens and the like at least then he cant say he hasnt tried the experience.

 

and if all else fails ive got a biggy birthday coming up this year and i spent quite a lot on his biggy birthday last year so im well in for something good i hope im going to ask for either chickens or a 6ft fish tank(the one i have in mind is over £1000) hmm i wonder which he will buy

 

(edited to add great minds think alike eh Jules)
