:) see the little black polish chicken in the first photo with the white tuffed hair.... well, when I was married *spit* to the tosser, we had a few chickens up our plant nursery, well on the land we used for growing the plants.... and I had one of those little chickens with the white crazy hair it was called 'Colin the Cockeral'....... the fox ate it LOL... my Jacob was distraught at the time he was about 4, so when we was at one of the huge south of England country shows with our plants, there was a chicken bloke there and he had one of the same breed as Colin and my Jacob so thought it was Colin so I had to buy it and say that the man had found it and was looking for its owners, so it was lucky we was at the same show LOL..... except that our Colin was right proper tame and this replacement was a mean bastard bird and I was glad when the fox also got him.....

I love the speckled chicken in the photos...... what I dont like is that they do NOT have grass to peck on and scratch around on, my chickens have the whole of me little garden to wander around and they LOVE the grass......

You did good though with the photos :) fanks for thinking of me..... I would so love to have land so I could have loads of chickens, oh, and a Llama :)

ok its midnight just gone, time for bed....

...just so ya don't feel too sorry for our chicken friends, when the backyard isn't packed with party-goers, they get to exit the coop area and sprint around the grassy areas you see in the background of some of the shots...and they have a nice multi-level house with ramps and walkways and allsort of cozy nooks to roost in...but believe it or not, coyotes still roam the inner city and it's necessary to put them in the compound at night so they are not eaten...

*Bitch slapping Pixie* :) gentley of course lol

Soul, dam and bugger me, now Im jealous of those dam chickens and I will not show Janet and my mob the photos today, mine get the roam of me 'little' garden and see themselves to bed in their coop at night where I shut the door so foxie done get them..... we nearly lost Cedric last week, but thats another story :)... a bit of lemon sawdust and herbie saw sounds pants compared with multi-level walkways LOL....

Mine must live in povety in comparison, I will wring their necks today and make a nice casserole of them..... so, fanks for that :)
