Chickens 🐣 (Updated Pg3, Welcome Gen 6!)

[T*]

For like 7 years we've consistently had chickens, but obviously over time things have happened (them dying from old age, colds or foxes, etc.) and since about late last year/early this year we've just had geese.
Today we're getting more, and they're ex-battery so they've been rescued and will have a happy life here :love: :amazed:

Welcome Generation 4 or 5! (i'm unsure which one oop)

what the actual ****
what a twattish thing to do :umm2:

I didn't mean for it to be offensive, I just hope they stay safe.

we've had loads of chickens die from foxes, but it seems there safe with you Tom.

[T*]

I didn't mean for it to be offensive, I just hope they stay safe.

why would you even post a picture, and I saw it before you edited it :umm2:

[Will.]

why would you even post a picture, and I saw it before you edited it :umm2:

It's only a picture of a fox and a Chicken, not exactly terrifying.

[T*]

i know what you did and meant will, just go away.

[Will.]

i know what you did and meant will, just go away.

You take things way too seriously sometimes. I din't mean for it to course offence, I was simply posting a picture to show what foxes can do to chickens, and hoping your stay safe.

[T*]

sure

[kirklancaster]

I hate chickens

Unless their in a fillet burger smothered in mayo x

:laugh:

[Will.]

sure

umm, what do find offensive about the picture? :conf: It's not even gruesome or nasty, It's not like I've said i want them all to die, we have chickens as well.

All I've said is I hope they stay safe from foxes, and I posted a picture showing what I meant.

[Will.]

I'm sorry Tom for the posting the picture, I didn't realise you would find it offensive.

[T*]

okay, the next time for instance you get a new car i'll be sure to post a picture of a fatal car crash with the description 'sounds good! i hope you stay safe and this doesn't happen to you though!' because that's what you've basically just done

[Cal.]

Drag ha!

[Will.]

Ok, Tom. Bit of a tricky comparison.

A better one would have been sheep, there always getting killed on the fields opposite us.

Wait, are you keeping them as pets or farming them?

Because if your keeping them as pets then I feel really bad for posting the picture.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I grew up with chickens and ducks

I love em

[LukeB]

I don't know why you have to post a fox with a dead chicken on here, Tom has had a issue with foxes before too, Things like that are unnecessary

[Daniel-X]

Luke B should win most loved tbh just for how rational he is :love:

[Will.]

Why are you bringing it up?

I have apologised and deleted it.

[Daniel-X]

If it makes you feel better Tom, You're chickens are true icons

[LukeB]

because i can still see the picture(which i didn't like myself as i'm sensitive over animals, I actually feel sad and stuff seeing things like that) and they're vegetarians on this forum too so at least be considerate towards them.

[JoshBB]

omg why was my post removed :bawling:

I was only trying to be relatable about chicken names ://

[T*]

Okay, haven't posted in here in a while because I knew people would be a dick about some of the things but here is some massive updates:
1. We now have a cockerel (not by our own choosing), it just wandered in and lives in our field.. We've called him Peri.
2. All of Generation 5 are gone, a fox came and had snatched them out of their coops, luckily no gore because they were eaten but still horrible [emoji174]
As they were ex battery they were just getting their feathers back and they already had some adorable personalities..
Peri survived.
3. We had the fences redone and today we have gotten 30 new chickens (Gen 6) and they need to be named!! :amazed:

[arista]
