Do exactly as he asks don't give them any tidbits and be calm and confident around them, talking to them helps no end  :D

And enjoy

Sometimes reading the posts here make looking after chooks sound scary but apart from loosing 2 girls to a fox and 1 to a mad springer spaniel, I haven't had any trouble. There was never better company in the garden while you are working, they always come to "help"! :wink:

Too true most people only post when we have a problem or something we are not sure about, but as a general rule I have found they are a doddle to keep and become pets very easy, which makes it difficult to eat 'em  :oops:
