ali-s Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I havent got chickens yet! but which book would you recommend from the shop, to help with advice on keeping chickens? Any help would be great. Starting with chickens by Katie Thear is a good beginners book, but I don't see it in the Omlet shop. The Practical Poultry magazine is a good read too. WHS will have copies. The best source of information by far is this forum I have learnt so much on here, far more than I would have done reading a book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 WHSmith-HAVING copies of Practical Poultry!!! I don't think so. Not where I live anyway-if I go to the Weymouth one they stock it. But otherwsie I get it from a lovely little newsagents in Langport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Any newsagent can order it in if you ask them too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 That's a point-might try that. But then that would encourage me to spend more money!!! Opps. Anyway we're going to Langport at the weekend as it's Dad's birthday, so will buy it then. That's why I'm not going to Essex!!! I don't think Dad would want to drive me there any time of the year-let alone on his birthday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I already have a pink one coming for Christmas - just wrapped it up for myself When you open it Christmas morning will you look then and think 'Hmmmm what a wonderfully thoughtful gift someone has bought me!'

Paola Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Chook decs are hanging on the tree. My eldest spotted them and told OH OH said b****y chickens and then said to the kids that when we do not have enough money for food it is because Mum has spent all our money on chicken stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Chook decs are hanging on the tree. My eldest spotted them and told OH OH said b****y chickens and then said to the kids that when we do not have enough money for food it is because Mum has spent all our money on chicken stuff Sounds perfectly reasonable to me (and anyway who needs to BUY food when you have the lovely eggs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 They just don't get it do they? OH refers to it as "tat". as in, "Oh, I see more tat has arrived". My chicken decorations are still hiding in the box...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Even I think that's cool Emma, and I don't like ornaments Might have to get one when I get a fleece. I'll check the colour of the fleeces at the weekend when I see kate's though. if it's too pink it might clash with my hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
