Guest Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Did anyone see Midlands Today last night Some idiot had put a rare breed chicken into a bottle bank The poor thing had been there for 2/3 days It has been rescued and sent to a wildlife centre in Evesham. The only thing wrong with it luckily, was that it had lost some of it's tail feathers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claret http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/midlandstoday/latest_features/ just click on the feature to see the video - looks like some sort of Barbu d'uccle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I did email them last night Clare to say we would have it. We are looking to expand our flock. It would fit nicely into the eglu with Rose and Mickey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Poor thing. Hope it did not eat any broken glass. I cannot print what I would like to do to the person who did this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I hope that you get it Debs - it's a tad big for our girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy-Mama Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Poor thing, hope you get it so it has a good home now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I don't think we will, I'm sure someone will claim it. It was a rare breed, but it didn't say what it was. We may go to Welshpool to collect a new hen at the weekend. The man who delivers my veg box has his eggs and chickens from there. It isn't too far from us and is a lovely place There is also a very nice steam railway near Welshpool, so I may be able to persuade Dan to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I like Welshpool Debs, it's lovely. I hope that you come back with a new hen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 It was a rare breed, but it didn't say what it was. Maybe it was a Newcastle Brown? Sorry.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 *groans* Two Debs? Brilliant - just tell Dan that it's always easier introducing two rather than one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Two would be good, we are in desperate need of eggs I hate shop bought ones even the best organic free range eggs are tasteless compared to one of our hens eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Oh two Debs, definately. You wouldn't want your two ganging up on a single one would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
