keeping chickens in ED

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?

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

    • Fish curry for me, Cochin prawn curry for Nyge, can't remember if it was plain basmati rice or coconut rice - we shared one portion- and a paratha, also shared. We also got free pappadams with three different dips, all delicious. There was so much of it we couldn't eat it all, I had the leftovers cold for lunch today! That was the second time I had the fish (sea bass fillets) because it was so yummy,  last time Nyge had the Dal spinach curry. They have lots of other things, including vegan, lamb and chicken, but neither of us usually eat meat. It says on the back of the flyer that they can make adjustments according to your preferences. And again, it was all delivered really quickly.
    • This is amazing! Looks so good. Well done Dan et al! Glad to have contributed to this lovely history.
    • Hi All Following incredible assistance from The Dulwich Society, a visit to the Southwark Archives and lots local insight from this forum, social media and visitors to ed we have created a visual history of ed's home, 41 North Cross Road. We think it looks great, you can see it on our Instagram and Facebook pages: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6UJsC3MDsS/ https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=947290310732033&set=pcb.947290447398686 There is a much less pretty but more detailed version for anyone interested. Many thanks for all your help. Dan  
    • So you are a ‘member’ 😳whatever that means, but also not. It’s not very clear…. But also totally transparent. Miaow 💅😂 Maybe I will, maybe I won’t 😂 What is interesting about your questions is that they suggest, as usual, that you see everything as a really basic binary opposition (cars vs bike, anti LTN vs pro-council etc). It’s not very nuanced Rocks. I don’t have great love for Southwark council as I suspect you assume. That said, neither do I have a lot of time for the apocalyptic hyperbole of those still upset over a fairly minor change to a road junction in the village, made several years ago, and which actually creates a nice public space for pedestrians and a bit more safety for kids travelling to school by bike. Ah, what the hell, let’s play…as you asked so nicely: The one that took place between May and July 2021 I don’t know much about this. It seems it was reopened though? Apparently they have the agreement of the emergency services this time, (which perhaps does suggests they didn’t consult with them properly the first time round). Of course someone (the mysterious Mr One?) believes the emergency services are being intimidated somehow (possibly by commies) so maybe Southwark still haven’t learnt their lesson? No, I don’t. Although I hear the Mysterious Mr One would like it redesigned to make things clearer. 😂 As for your ‘question 3 sub-points’ I don’t actually agree with their premise (a bit of the old ‘how often do you beat your wife’ framing going on there… slippery 😂) Anyway good luck with the referendum.
