Snowy Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 A friend was camping this weekend and came back with these pics - thought you might like them! Small campsite on a farm with free range chickens - they were obviously very used to 'their' space being invaded by campers! They even jumped into one girls car - she nearly went home with them (think I may need to visit there myself ) (I'm just glad they didn't poo on his sheepskin rug - he may not have been so amused by them then!) Cheeky madams aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutmare Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I love it! I was going to say the same thing though - I would not have been happy with chicken poo in my tent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memphisto Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 How lovely! Hopefully it will convert people to getting chickens if they haven't already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 We got invaded by ducks when went camping many years ago.........I swear those ducks could hear a bread packet being opened however quietly you did it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migsy Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Lovely! Very lucky he avoided poo though. I love his bell tent. I've got one too and my chickens are definitely not allowed in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfer_chicken Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (I'm just glad they didn't poo on his sheepskin rug - he may not have been so amused by them then!) Cheeky madams aren't they? Yes! As soon as I saw those photos I was thinking I would never let chickens anywhere near something so clean, white and fluffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 What lovely pictures, I would love to camp like that. I'd be awful though and be tempted to feed them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammiboo Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 reminds me of when i was about 10 camping in blackpool with my sister and her husband, chickens broke into our tent and ate my frosties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 My parents tell a story of when they once stayed in a lovely local 'pension' in the French Alps, they went down to breakfast one morning to find that the free ranging chickens which were usually confined to the paddock had made a break for the border and invaded the breakfast room my mother, being a smallholder's daughter, grabbed a chicken under each arm and marched them back outside then came back for more. My father who isn't an animal person watched, horrified. I think they have the photos somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Brilliant . Can you imagine trying to clean a curry poo out of that rug though .

Snowy Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Oooooooo Cathy......where? It was near Stonehenge - but apart from the chickens I believe there was very little else to be recommended about the site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Thanks Cathy! Stonehenge is not overly close, but not a million miles either......might be worth investigating next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migsy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 If you want a holiday with chickens check this out English Country Cottages It was a holiday here that inspired me to get mine. Fab place for kids. It had some farm hens and also a huge WIR with rare breeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
