The Dogmother Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I just cheated and logged onto a forum at http://www.pekinbantams.com, mainly to see what was what, and also beacuse I noticed that a breeder in Oxford is selling some stock and I want to get some more chooks in the spring They don't have many people chatting like we do here - couldn't spend all day on it, though. They had some good information though on breeds, people selling and the such like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I have been on that forum, ages ago now. When I first looked into having Chickens I wanted Pekins but couldn't find a breeder near me. I go to a few different forums but very rarely join in, just to read really. A couple of chicken ones, self sufficiency that sort of thing.

Cate in NZ Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I've also visited a few other forums- I'm quite surprised how many there are out there considering I'd never really that any such thing existed until Omlet. I've had a nice snoop at some of the others, is good for all things chickeny, but no matter how many I visit I end up coming back here, probably to be honest because I feel that I know so many of you now, it's more like chatting to friends than anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Kate and I use one that is like a small River Cottage. But I always come back here for chat and fun. Its the friendliest forum I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Another great thing about this forum, & one that makes it really stand out amongst all others, is that it is very well run & works really well. It is set out so it is easy to read, & the moderators do an amazing job & obviously enjoy errrrrr...moderating (?) It does exactly what a forum should do, & darn effectivly too The people are great too, & have been so welcoming to me even though I no longer have the Chickens Big thumbs up from Henley-on-Thames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
