chicken bark Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 What is it exactly that makes chickens so appealing and why do we always want more? Are they magical?, therapeutic? Is it that there are so many breeds/colours/personalities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken bark Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 I know that I've got large fowl and now I'm venturing more into bantams and very little bantams too. Who knows what I'd end up with if money/space/time was no object! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Who knows what I'd end up with if money/space/time was no object! I have the space, some of the money and none of the time and my habit is escalating daily Think that makes me a bit barmy As for the original question, to me hens are the perfect pet they are sweet and have added value - far better than the freeloading dog and cat that I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 They're comical, entertaining, they interact with you, are vulnerable and live in the lovely fresh air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 It's a combination of dependence but are also independent, it's their joy to see you, it's the egg shaped bonus, they bring the garden to life, it's their little characters, their inquisitiveness, the poot's cuteness, their joie de vivre...........we just love them I dream constantly of annexing the field adjoining us or buying a smallholding..........we're well & truly smitten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
