simon_blackwell1 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Awful news. I live in East London and am much more concerned about kids breaking in and nicking the chickens than I am about foxes. The kids round here would do it just to have a ready supply of eggs to throw around, now the shops have stopped selling them to children.

Mayo Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hi donnacaward, So sorry to hear your sad story ; let's hope the separation is only temporary. A few nights ago I woke in the early hours, worried about my rescue muscovy duckling's safety when he starts to fly in a few weeks time, and what would happen if he got lost. I had what is either a very silly idea or a very clever one . . . Has anyone ever heard of poultry being micro-chipped. Well-wishers would be able to contact me so I could arrange his safe return, and notices up on the garden gate, saying that m-chips were in place, might help to serve as a deterrent to the vile perpetrators of such petty crimes. Well guys, which am I : genius or cretin ?? (Only people who don't know me can reply - all the rest have been sure of their answer for years !!) M.
