Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Ive just been to the market and brought a pet chicken to lay me some eggs.But then I realised when I got home that I've got no housing for it, done no research on keeping it and dont know what to feed it. So im going to join a chicken forum and ask on there. In the meantime I've put it in my ferret court and they are all playing with it very rough? Will it be ok? Its very noisy so should I get it spayed? Any help appreciated. 1 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 OK thanks. Do you think that being in with ferrets will make the chicken really aggressive? One of the ferrets is 1/16 euro you see. Maybe in time I could go lamping deer with the chicken? 1 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Be sure to seperate them in breeding season though Gaz. That would fetch £500 on preloved. Roll on next spring Quote Link to post
man o kent 269 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Don't be a numpty, a full size chicken is too big to go to ground! You are better off with a bantam! 1 Quote Link to post

Not sure if your serious or not Gaz. After reading some of the posts and questions on here lately this could be genuine. Quote Link to post
