I'VE GOT MY CHICKENS
I'VE GOT MY CHICKENS
I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW HOW HAPPY I CAN BE:)

Oooooh - what you gonna call them?

I think names like paxo, casserole, soup etc are childish - yet hysterical!

(ps, the da, da, da bit of the title of this thread is exactly the right number to do the indiana jones theme tune too pmsl - which I did in my head as soon as I saw it :rotfl: )

hen 1 and hen 2 so that when they are completely worn out and lay no more eggs there will be no problem with putting them out of their mysery - and onto a slow cooker;)
daughter wants to call one clucky luke (a gender confused chook there methinks), and my son wants henny penny, among other names.
Had a suggestion of t and w as names - T-HEN and W-HEN!

Star Wars theme also goes well to the da's!

Sarah - I expect lots of eggy recipes now, edible, beauty (face packs etc,) looking forward to your posts. Really pleased for you, a neighbour of mine used to keep chickens and kept most of us neighbours in lovely free range eggs

I am really pleased for you Sarah :j :j :j

I suppose chicken Marengo and chicken Napoli would be a cruel name?

Trow

Or Korma and Tikka?

How exciting! We've had ours almost a year and haven't bought eggs since. Have you kept them before?

Since we are talking about chickens - (I'm new to this site and I still reeling with the amount and variety of subjects raised!) I have a very urban back garden and would love chickens, I have the space but it's right up against the fence with next door, and next doors house is very close to this fence. I know that they won't crow but do they make any noise that will cause any nuisance?

They can cluck a bit when they lay an egg (well, wouldn't you?) and they burburbur as they walk around but I wouldn't call it a niusance. Kids make much more noise! Our back garden is very urban, we mentioned it to naeighbours either side before we got ours and they didn't have a problem.

I'm about to get some this summer and we live in a terraced house (actually have three houses on on the sides of our garden). You do have to check that it doesn't contravene any local council regs but you certainly don't need a cockerel and in fact you are better off without one.
