And another thing I don't get *cringe* why would Babs stop laying eggs because she is broody? I would have thought the space hopper she popped every day would be enough of a reminder of her maternal instincts! Does she just need to hatch one of the bubba eggs before settling back into battery life?

how do you manage to use up 20kg of layers pellets with two chickens within the expiry date?

Frankito - with just two chickens no matter how long she sits on them - they aint going to hatch - see earlier posts!

Sugar, sugar, sugar, honey,honey, honey Frankito, Frank Sinatra whatever.

Shall we remember the discussion we had about the battery eggs back in February.

I had good information about it and I was not given the chance to explained the situation.

I was not a Veterinary qualify to bring up this subject. But I was aware

about eggs been frozen and just not from the same chickens but others as well.

Good choice of eggs when they are frozen and having in hand the best Veterynaries is great

which we are happy to say that, when people call some chickens battery.

Some farmes also have organic frozen eggs he, he, he and no only that they also have their vets abroad

who are family run business. How can people talked this things without knowing the facts of the technology.

This days our technology are far to advance and not only that you can not discuss anything if you have not finished yet your research. (tu)

Good Luck but I'll have my organic eggs and my own chicks. God will bless my chicks either organic or not organic they will be mine and hopefully to expand the business here in the near future. *******

sorry I lost you all there, being new to the forum, in a sea of new posts. You lot are prolific in ED!!


My mum has two ex-battery hens arriving next week. Should be good fun.


Next question is - do chickens fight? I mean if I get one from a posh farm and put it with one from the work house, will they sense their differences?

It might turn out that the one from a Posh Farm will be educated enough to tell the one from the Workhouse that Hens dont fight, its the Cock that fights other Cocks to rule over all the Hens in the group.

You will soon learn which colour egg comes from which colour Hen. :))

Leagle B - she is still broody - found one chicken trying to lay an egg on top of her the other day! AND she keeps nicking the others eggs to sit on - cheeky!

SFH you may want to put them in the house together at bedtime when they arrive(around 7pm at the mo) there will be some adjusting to each other to establish a pecking order (yes this is where the term comes from)but they will get on with each other. For info you can get ex batts food which brings them back to full health - it has more goodness in it. Otherwise Layers pellets. - I get mine in 20KG sacks.

if anyone has chickens and is interested I have some Marriages layers pellets with flubanvet worming medication in it - use it for 7 days and get rid of any potential worms. this product has a life span of two months and I have only used half of it but wont really need more for 5 & half months. Willing to sell at cost which is cheaper than the stuff that goes in their water each month. PM me if you would like to know more

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
