urbanchick Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 That's really wonderful news. I hope they don't come back. Anti-slip paint or a nasty spiky pyracantha bush is a good deterrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Oh wow.... That is smashing news. I hope she is OK. I wonder why they took her and then abandoned her. I hope she gave the thief a bloomin' good peck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Awwww this is absolutely beautiful news, so much so - I have tears in my eyes. I love happy endings. I bet it was like something out of a film - the re union. So happy for you! I bet she enjoyed her ride back home. Bless her. Lots of treats for her today! If she was my chook, she would be in the house on my knee having loads & loads of cuddles. Fantastic - My hubby will be pleased as he has been asking every day..has the missing chicken turned up yet?

YOu always think what if that happened to yours & your story really upset us. Clever beauty !!!! Emma.x Thanks to everyone. And emma that reply has got me even more emotional. I could believe it, i saw her, then she went behind a tree and i honestly thought it was my imagination, so i started to walk closer, it felt llike hours, but was just a few seconds. I got closers and she stuck her head out. I would have her inside on my knee but she doesnt like to be handles much we havent even had her a week yet. we had her on Thursday, she was stolen on Sunday night, and i found her today [tuesday!] I cannot wait to tell Christian [christianl] he is so wonderful, and hes been so supportive on MSN. Thanks to Martin U18's too. Hes on msn too. if anyone wants to add me by the way you can i think my emails under this. Thanks to everyone. Oh and thanks to RICHARD who posted before about raisins she just loves them!!!! I ordered some anti pecking bumper bits, but they sent me the chicken ones, and not the bantam ones! So she will have to stay isolated for a bit longer. Which is good because im worried sick about putting them on, oh and craftyhunnypie- on Dora the Explorer, they went looking for a chicken today!!! you'd love that programme i bet! sometimes i watch it when seths in bed i bet you all think im nutty! thanks for all the support!

moochoo Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I've just read your great news what a huge relief....I bet she's boring the other chickens with her story of kidnapping and adventures you'll never know about!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffball Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Well done you!!! :D I bet Beauty liked seeing her friends again-wish you luck on making her leg better! Can I suggest barbed wire along the top of the aviary? Then if the thief comes back and tries to climb over he'll get what he deserves!!! Congratulations again, I'm so pleased for you!

fairy&cake Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 hello! my dh is thinking of putting an electis fence up on top of the fence they got over, its 240 volts. that should deter them. i dont think your allowed 240v though. but then again, they shouldnt be breaking in to owned property!!!! I am also going to have diagonal barbed wire put up! I can not believe people would break in, but im so pleased to have her back!!! I was suprised when i let out Fairy and Cake my oldest and should be wisest chooks, Fairy grabbed Beauty and shook her!!!! I told Fairy off and put her away! I have these bumper bits i think there all going to have to wear them! Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
