vickichicky Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 ive started to read "your chickens" magazine the last couple of months. its a nice read for a "back yard keeper" link to their site too http://www.yourchickens.co.uk/home Thanks Sammiboo - I checked out the website & signed up for subscription.

Redwing Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I get probably every other issue of Practical Poultry, its not a bad read My absolute must-read magazine is Fancy Fowl which I subscribe to, I eagerly await its delivery each month and scour ebay for old ones its not really a 'light' read though unless you know the people in the poultry showing world to understand the banter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 My folks give me a subscription to Practical Poultry every Christmas - very useful present. I always pass it on when I'm done, so it gets re-read and recycled again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I've read 'Your chickens' since it came out at the start of this year but am now finding it a bit too targetted to children and their parents and teachers. As for 'Practical Poultry' - I'm an addict. OH kindly gets me it every month in the hope, I think, that it will keep my chicken craziness at bay. As if The bit I think I like best is the bit at the back with all the suppliers Other fav articles in are Andy Marshall's 'Poultryman's Diary' and Chris Graham's 'Our chickens'. I tried the Smallholder's mag (can't remember the exact title) but it was too serious for me. I'm really just a mad hobby woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutmare Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Practical Poultry sounds good. Can you get it in Tesco or such places or online only? Although it may be good, I'm only going to want to expand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckmum6 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 My poultry porn is 'practical poultry' which I download to my iPad, but I'm getting really bored with it actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeramaSilly Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I used to buy Practical Poultry too but I was really shocked when they did an article about chickens prolapsing and it showed a chicken upside down in a plastic bag (after it had been culled) so you could see what a prolapse looked like. I know it was practical to show people but it really shocked me even though one of my own chickens had prolapsed and I knew what it looked like. I think it was the fact that it was in a plastic bag!

Space Chick Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Chestnutmare - they sell practical poultry in the market in town, the magazine stall by the end doors opposite clintons cards Today they had poultry world there too, which I bought for the first time.... It's more business orientated, but an interesting read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
