    Chickens as pets

    What does everyone think about having chickens as pets.

    I currently have 6 in my back yard, they have a nice house and a 9ft x 9ft x 6ft run.

    4 of my 6 are laying daily now, just waiting for my other two young pullets to start.

    Anyone else keeping backyard chickens?

      Hey there James, I too am a chicken lover.. some of my friends.. well, I lie, Zap and Gmb, calls me Chicken George.
      I have 2 chickens called Tikka and Masala. Gorgeous little beauties, but they aint laying. I have tried all the usual methods, showing them a box of Paxo, showing them the oven etc, but no luck yet.
      I look forward with interest to new posts on this site.. there really ought to be a seperate forum for this.

          Couldnt agree with you more mate, we need a separate forum. Chicken keeping is getting quite popular now. Have you tried golf balls in their nest boxes ?

                      Is this so that you have an 'egg' for tee?

                      O.K. I'll go back to bed.
