Omletina Kyckling Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 The Huddersfield Examiner had a report in yesterday's paper of four white sussex bantams which have been stolen from a coop in the Lindley area of Huddersfield. The thieves had to snap off a padlock to steal the girls. They were in their later years enjoying a happy retirement. It sounds like they were stolen by somebody who knows about hens as they left behind a crossbreed hen and duck. Huddersfield Police have asked for any information on the theft or if anybody is offered the bantams for sale to contact them on 0845 6060606. Absolutely sickening.

Poor people-we had a break in and thought for nearly an hour that someone had stolen cleo-because shes a pedigree etc...was the longest hour.. losing pets-in whatever way is horrible.. :o/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
