What is it with chickens suddenly?

[joggerjayne]

There was a post yesterday, or maybe Monday, from someone asking about keeping chickens in your garden.

Lots of people seem to be keeping chickens.

Now Mums says she'd like a few chickens in the garden. OMG !

What is it with chickens, suddenly ?????







ps. Does anyone have a small hen house that would fit on my balcony?

Chickens? get them form Lidl......£1 each

Eggs?....the're cheap too.

In the Garden?....urrrrrgh! how terribly rural.

Or is it the "cocks" that are of particular interest?

[joggerjayne]

sqad ... you're being really naughty this morning.

[Sqad]

JJ...LOL....we were made for each other....a "sensational " couple.

[joggerjayne]

At Costco, you can get 60 eggs for £5.

That's good value, isn't it?

Not that I ever need 60 eggs.

[joggerjayne]

I thought that, too, Triggy.

[piggynose]

i cant stand chicken, it tastes foul/fowl!!

[Sqad]

Trigger....my apologies.........just checked with Mrs sqad.....just over £2 in sterling.

[joggerjayne]

piggy ... LOL

I think we would have got that gag, even if you hadn't spelt it out for us.

[joggerjayne]

£2 ... still sounds cheep.

[Sqad]

JJ...Have you got a Lidl in Brighton?

[joggerjayne]

Well, yes ... but I've never been inside it.

I doubt you could raise a chicken for £1. Makes you wonder at the farming industry.

[Old_Geezer]

Or £2 for that matter.

I'd love to have chickens, preferably ex battery ones. Sadly ive not the room for any and a blood thirsty jack russell, which I can't imagine will be good combination.

[Old_Geezer]

Might save you on buying "pedigree chump" ?

[sophie_1003]

Boo; we have chickens and a JR (admittedly had the chickens first) and the JR is scared of the chickens. Also; it's lovely to have eggs which you know are truly free range.

And enough feathers for a quilt? Hmmm, might be onto something there!

would really love to sophie, but ive a postage size stamp of a backyard.
