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

    • Ed has experience of having to care for others (his mother and son) he understands more so than other MPs how NHS and Social Services need funding and to work together. David Cameron had a seriously disabled son but he appeared to lack empathy with others who have family in the same situation. I vaguely remember that when his son died - he thanked the NHS for the care given to the family. Gordon Brown, I believe is another very genuine person - and fully committed to improving lives of families. His daughter died shortly after birth and one of his sons was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis.   I far rather trust Ed and Lib Dems than I would Reform or Tories. I have known a few MPs of different political  persuasions, met with them, been canvassing etc over many years and those who stand out for me are Paddy Ashdown, Susan Kramer, Tessa Jowell, Helen Hayes  .
    • I've just had Oddbods Handy Services (Iain and Paul) come and sort out some fiddly repair work to a water tank cupboard in our house. They were punctual, professional in their approach, courteous and tidy upon finishing the job. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a handyman and peace of mind knowing they will do a good job. Thanks guys.
    • Of course as these places revive, for the reasons you correctly state, there is no shortage of people moaning “just what we need. Another coffee shop or bar!” and of course there are limits.  But social spaces are the future of revived town centres as much as or more than traditional retail  Face to face shopping is important and a good thing but landlords are not going to swallow the lower rents that are required to revive retail in town centres  shopkeeers don’t help themselves either sometimes. Yer famous butcher in Dulwich spent more time complaining about congestion charge in Kennington instead of saying how that led to his business booming in Dulwich  On the other hand again look  what happened when his butcher shop took off in lordship lane.  Other people started moaning about the queues!!  Successful business!!! Boo hiss   sometimes I do wonder if the “left behind” find themselves in that position not because of govt policy or newcomers  but because they will never be happy and become pains in the hole which business and other people avoid
