I want some chickens too but i've got two dogs one of which hates them and 1 cat so i think it might be a fun combination. I'd look into it, by going to see someone who has them already and find out the work involved.xx

i want a rescued battery hen, because they kill them when they are one year old, just because they stop laying as many eggs. They live way longer than that. Poor things come out of those caged with no feathers and live utterly miserable lives. I would love to home a few.

There are loads of battery hen rescue centres all over the country!

I also want a duck lol, but i will have to wait until tom is old enough for a pond!

A lot of charities give away free hens. Have a look around.
