I've arranged to pick up my chickens on Sunday and I'm so excited. I'm not sure if I'll get 3 or 4, I'll ask the farmer how big they get.


I've gone for the White Leghorn because they are ready now and they are good layers. This is what they look like apparently

But I'll post pics of mine when I get them.

I've also dug up my front lawn into 4 veg beds to the amusement of my neighbours and am hoping to get some horse manure to go with it tomorrow.


Gona do the same in the back garden after I've fenced off the end half.


You know my neighbours love me!! Hehe

Chav, manure is free from the Southern Railway Stables in Bermondsey - you have to take your own sacks. I think they charge for it at Dulwich stables. Make sure it is at least several months old and well rotted or it will scorch what you plant.

I got my chickens today, but can't upload the pics. They are great and despite all your doom-mongering, the dogs didn't even bark at them. Yallas whined a bit but Hannibal sniffed them and wagged his tail. they settled in nicely and I just hope my fox-proofing will prove to be truly fox-proof.


Big thankyou to hundredandone for all his help. Thank you

    • A friend has asked me to recommend Juliene for regular cleaning as she has some slots available. Her phone number is 07751426567
    • I'd put short odds on that but who would be his likely successor?
    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
