mike, i love eating chickens, but could't bear her being harmed, although when she squackes first thing, i could wring her bloody neck. LOL i had a cock, he was beheaded, he could only say crock a do, instead of cockadoodledoo

i thought ducks liked the rain and water?????? did the dog teach him how to knock LOL

Lol Wee Scottie, Mine are for eating and laying eggs, I don't discuss the philosophy of life with them!

Our duck used to knock on the back door to come in when it was raining! It would rather be inside in the dry and warm - with the dog! lol We used to have chickens too but they were penned in. I wasn't keen on them and was quite happy to pluck them of all their feathers when we croaked them! lol

bryan, is that when you move into the country? it's funny the other day she tried to get my coffee in my cup, and eats my shhhh (fag ash)

chickens are georgeous,and will react to kindness,and to be spoken to in a quiet voice,the more they are allowed to roam,the happier they become,and a few will follow you around,and actually watch you,as you tend to other animals...dont tell anyone,but ive always named chickens,and they do react to those names in time....roll on july,and i will have some chickens of my own. bryan.

mike, can i pick your brains please. i know the chicken eats pellets, scraps etc and she eats gravel,grit to make the shell, how does she make the egg? how does the egg get inside the shell? how long does it take her to make the egg? puzzling questions which came first chicken or the egg?

janette, pmsl here. haven't got that far yet!!! they are funny creatures, i haven't clipped her wings, and she gets into everything, even follows the cat up the trees

About a dozen, but this one was 'reared' by the cat and now thinks its a cat! lol

We had a duck that thought it was a dog. It even tried....ahem....mating with my Mum's dog! lol Jeanette x

mike, seriously, you to have a chicken?

LOL yes thats her name, could'nt find another name to call her, the neighbours love her to bits, they call her and she gets fed scraps from there house. she's unbelieviably sociable. just wondering if chickens are normally so tame.

I've got one thinks its a cat! Only reason its saved having its neck wrung.. thats why it does it, one smart chicken! lol

yes roxanne, just the one CLUCK CLUCK

roxanne, don't call her she might hear you!!! LOL

do any other members have them? mines is weird!! mines is really tame. is this normal? she hang's around with my dog's and cat's, is she adopting their nature? she comes to call, when i tell her to go bed she goes,. NO i haven't hit the bottle!!!!!

cross the road and lay eggs brenda
