alimac 882 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 try gettin the permission at the tea rooms farm just before you get into humshaugh on the milatery road.. was the best permission i had when i was down there.. Quote Link to post
Ossie 11 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 i'd second the chicken-breaking... my boy was aquired at 7 months old, from a town home, and had never seen 'stock in his life... breaking him to it has been nigh impossible. he got out on monday & killed one of my neighbours chickens . luckily they are very understanding. i spent all of monday afternoon ringing round my friends to find another hen for them, which was delivered with a grovelling apology on tuesday morning. but it has now thrown my housing situation into a crisis, as the place i was moving to has a chicken-keeping nextdoor neighbour, and he has a gun... and wouldn't think twice about using it. looks like i'm moving back in with my parents for the time being Quote Link to post
