Anyone else keep chickens?

<< < (2/2)

V8MoneyPit:
We've only had them for a month or so. I was sceptical at first, but I have to admit they are very endeering. And cost a 'paltry' amount to keep...... Sorry  :lol:

We just have to let them out in the morning and they put themselves back in the coop at dusk, so we just close the door on them.

LSP - If you've got an area of garden available, go for it. They only need a few square metres each although more is better. And even just a couple will produce enough eggs to make you sick of omelette!

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Its not so much the land availability, its more the whinging neighbours. While I'm not normally one to 'conform to the norms of surburban dwelling', the local authority would raise cain over it.
I'll hang on for a couple of years to give me time to find my ideal place, away from the trappings of consumer life and the influence of town dwelling.

As the old saying goes "You can take the boy out of the country, butyou can't take the country out of the boy".

Something like that, anyway. :undecided:

Disco Matt:
I've been lobbying my parents to adopt a couple of rescue chickens for some time now. The neighbours already have some (including a rather fine cockerel which occasionally escapes and struts around next door's garden until noticed and repatriated!) so I doubt anyone could complain.

my misus has 2. she got them for free of gumtree and live in my shed. they lay well and keep the grass down and eat all the scraps so its all good.

If you do have a bit of room just get some you cant go wrong
