Hello,


I have two lovely pet chickens and was wondering if anyone else had chickens in the area? My neighbours are great, and look after them while we are on hols. But I am on the look out for a fellow chicken keeper, just in case we are ever away at the same time or so they might have someone to contact if they have any questions while we are away. Ours live in an Eglu and I would really recommend them as a pet - fresh eggs every day, Mmmmm!!!

The unusual pet thread about chickens is my boyfriend :-)


You don't need masses of space to keep just a couple of chickidees. I was thinking of asking Dog Kennel Primary school round the corner if they wanted to watch them for a week if we go away. Thought it could be a fun project for the kids, but didn't really figure in parental paranoia on bird flu. Maybe not sure a great idea....

Hi,


I got four chickens a few months back and just as they all started laying, a fox got 3 of them. i was gutted, especially as it was my fault, I'd forgotten to put the cover to the run back on in the evening. I got another 3 and have made sure I locked tham back up each evening and they seem to be doing fine. My dog seems to keep the foxes away during the day and both him and my kitten get on great with the chickens.


They are brilliant and really funny so yes I think everyone should get some!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
