WTF??? :o
Just got in from a spa day near Birmingham, to find a fkin CHICKEN in the garden?? - Yes, a LIVE one too!
Spoke to the RSPCA, and they said well, if youre happy to keep it, build a coop, and put it away at night!
So, we gained an unexpected household pet today!  The kids will lvoe it!
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Lol, we have chickens. Probably came from a neighbour. They dont usually stray very far from home.
Down side is of the 15 or so we have, 85% are cockrels, noisy buggers!

Well, after the naming ceremony (We called it Google) and going to wickes to buy some timber and chicken wire, the little bastard flew away!
Shortest ever career as a chicken farmer!

Never count your chickens before they are catched
Ok my coats on and I'm leaving
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Ha ha! Halarious
Well at least you got an egg out of it. Hang on - I thought the egg-laying gender wasn't too hot at flying? Or was Chicken Run not an accurate
documentary?

None can fly, they can make a spectacular leap though, a good 10' anyway!

Yeah they flap a lot & dont really fly but it assits the ability to jump a fair bit!
You're better off without it though really, we used to have them on the farm here & they're smelly thing that scrats about & makes
a right mess!

WTF are you doing on a "spa" day near Birmingham? There's only one Spa, and that's on Belgium's only hill.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

I've just got back from 7 weeks on a remote farm in Wales. They had 30 chickens and about 10 ducks. They are free to roam and had no chicken
houses/coups etc, just a simple shelter for them to lay in, and they haven't lost any to foxes. Neighbouring farms have, and you can hear the
foxes at night.
Reason: all the men on the farm pee around the farm at random locations (no running water for toilets, this place was remote!)
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

if they lost 100lbs each and ditched the dungerees then it'd be close, the hair and beards are spot though!
