Nicola H Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 You would have to put newspaper on the floor and make sure they didn't stray too far...........Sweetcorn should keep them in one place.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Arr...good idea Nicola. I wonder if I could bodge together some sort of wire enclosure.....hhmmm, might get OH oh the job.

Guest Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I don't work until Wednesday evening. Does it count if the chickens are asleep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Definitely I haven't taught them to warble in tune yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freerange Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 DH & I both work from home. Although Wednesday is the day for our HE group at the local soft play place. I wonder if Ruth would mind? Its the day before my birthday too, so it would be a nice birthday present if I won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard and Jo Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I drive for half an hour then cycle for 50 mins to central London where I work on a building site all day. I don't think the chickens would appreciate that Jo will be taking them to work - she is a domestic engineer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Kate - do you know whereabouts last years photos are? Which page in the Gallery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewBuckley Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I work as a gardener & handy-man. If I take my chooks to work with me next Wednesday, I'll be in a garden in Winchester that's mostly covered in rounded pebbles. Do you think anyone would object if I took mine on Friday when I'll be working in a nice big garden with a very mossy lawn. (I could always doctor the date on the photos couldn't I? Seriously though, are the chooks likely to find it stressfull spending one day somewhere completely different. I trying to keep them calm until they start laying.

The O'Neill Family Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 does it count if we bring them to school? because it's not really my fault if i can't work( would be more fun than school) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myles Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I hope so, as all us under 16's cant work in full time employment. so i think school should count. Kate or James will probably have the final say though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 Kate doesn't have any say at all ! I had to beg pity from James to let me join in last year !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Chickens in school sound fun, but I'm not sure that too many of the teachers would agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 My husband is refusing to take our girls to work. He says they wouldn't enjoy the very cramped conditions on the train into London. I have a wonderful image of them trotting over London Bridge with him and all the other commuters though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 That's a lovely picture, Ginette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Aw, this would be so much fun, but it would be quite impractical for me. The bus would be quite a challenge, for starters! Then I suspect the quiet warbling and clucking from under my desk might raise a few eyebrows... Although a couple of years ago I did have a duckling (Charlie) in a box under my desk - he was poorly and needed a bit of TLC. Got into trouble over that one - only when people started forming a queue to come and see him though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 A duckling Gem I know a woman who works at a wildlife sanctuary, she found a deserted duckling (tiny) and was keeping him down her bra to keep him warm Luckily she had enough in there to keep him from falling out!

Gem Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 In her bra??? I didn't try that... It would have caused even more of a commotion I suspect. So did anyone manage to smuggle a chook into their place of work today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
