I don't keep chickens but I've always wanted to, ever since I went collecting eggs from my friend's chickens when I was a child. We've toyed with the idea but I don't think it's the right time to commit at present.
ReplyDeleteLivestock is a committment isn't it?- You can hardly take your chickens on holiday with you! Also I'd worry about them if I had to leave them on the plot.
ReplyDeleteI don't keep chickens...I'm always worried I wouldn't have the time to tend to them on the plot....I think if I was going to go for keeping something alive it would be bees...do you know anything about bee keeping??
ReplyDeleteSorry Tanya don't know a thing about keeping bees - a couple of people on our site have fancied keeping a hive but the council won't allow it.
ReplyDeleteS'cuse me butting in here re: Tanya's question about bee keeping - have a look at Phil Chandler's site - he keeps bees in a completely different way to that advocated by the British Beekeeping Association. His methods seem far more holistic and definitely the way I will try things in a year or two.

I have his book (Barefoot Beekeeper) and it's wonderful - no affiliation, etc, he probably doesn't know I exist!
Not butting in BW joining in and thanks for the information
