It's not really wise to keep Cockrels with neighbours around. I'm just getting Hens, they're fairly unobtrusive.

Will they fly around in circles? :cool:

I think they just can't get the balance to fly at all(hence the ravens at the tower having a wing clipped). Chickens aren't really fliers anyway ime.

Those coups look fine Kanda. The second one at the top looks good and I'd go for the Blue and Black chickens coz they're pretty. I'd probably get a pair of silkies too :cool:

Just make the wire of any outdoor coup goes well under the ground so the foxes can't dig into it.

Have you saught advice from madz at all? ;)

yes, yes - this!

plus you get all the excitement of seeing them change from ugly and pale to lush colours and glossy - like a makeover.

Innit! :)

There's a rather lovely slideshow here where you get to see some of them looking a bit more straggly (sp?) and sorry for themselves, and then some pics after the transformation.

And you Kanda, you could be responsible for that.

Do the right thing Kanda. Give a chicken a second chance.

*voice breaks, wipes tear from eye*
 
Also, you can really easily train chickens to do stuff, they're basic animals. :) Let me know when you get them and I'll come over armed with a clicker :D

from what i understand, they are mental for a few days, then become normal, but likely pretty much spoilt rotten.

I gave ours away :D

I'm not back, not really. Just popped in to check something. I don't have much time for internetting lately. You feeling better?
 
From golden valley poultry...

"As was mentioned in Country Smallholder Magazine is that she is liable to break into a trot chasing you, if you attempt to escape her loving attentions."

I could see that being a problem, getting the bus to work for example. :hmm:

Maybe because your immune system is run down. Do you like garlic at all? That and echinacea can help boost your IS. Only take echinacea for a week or so though.

If Kanda gets silkie anythings I want photos :D
 
As a novice I don't want ex-batts to start off with, I may do further down the line.

Silkies are odd looking feckers, got a link to a seller? :D
