    an organic whole chicken costs about £10

    you could have been back in the position you were in prior to 'Betty' getting ill and have been tucking into a nice roast for the net outlay of a fiver!!

      Tell me about it - we can get chickens locally from £2 - £5. I was not best pleased, and it won't be happening again. Problem is that they have become pets - which to be honest I knew would happen.

      Excellent - getting a Eglu?
      Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

        probably a Cube - still not decided. I had it all planned for last year but didn't get the garden sorted.

        I was going to get a nice wooden coop and run from FlytesoFancy in Dorset but then my Gardener got an Cube and told me how much better it was than a wooden one.

        Bloody expensive though!!

          The cube does look good - we considered one but reckoned it would take up too much space in our meagre garden. Very expensive as you say, but much easier to clean than a wooden coop.

            keep dishing out those cuddles in the mean time.

              I just googled "chicken cube" to try to find out what you were on about. Found this (SFW)

              I assume that's not what you're talking about

                Looks like Betty has escaped the oven then ?

                  Hey Bunk

                  That'll be the bedsit version of the cube

                    For now - she'd better buck her ideas up though. I think there's a chance she won't a be a "layer" as well from what the vet has said

                      No, I've caught a lurgy from somewhere so I'm just moping around and coughing a lot. Starting to feel better so should be ready to start looking next week.
