BABE THAT IS SO WRONG. :roll: How will you feel when you eat him :?:
just to put your mind at rest bumbler, all my girls are happy and healthy and quite used to being huggled and cuddled and posing for pictures.
fraggle has been handled since the day SHE hatched.
i do not keep them for eggs...OR MEAT, they are pets and treated as such.
im just glad its not a cat pitcure competition, or khufu would have been prading around in her bondage gear, complete with whip and handcuffs :roll: :lol:
-
My cat, even being the geriatric wuss that he is (just turned 18) would scratch my eyes out before he'd let me dress him up, the nearest I got was tying a scarf round him when he was little, and of course his bonnet with a pink ribbon (the plastic bonnet that the vet put on him to stop him biting his stitches out I hasten to add!) :lol:

SEBRIGHT IN THE SNOW
Our sebright cockerel braved the 3 inches of snowfall earlier in April. Managed to get this shot of him in the sunshine. No eggs that day from the hens - they did enjoy their porridge though!

thats a wonderful photo, just perfect :D

I want chickens!!!!!!! These pics are making me v. jealous! Unfortunately my miniature dachshund is the Queen of my garden and she would try to eat them! Oh well, when I finally get that lottery win I'm (over)due I can have my own little farm!! :wink:

Squeeks hardly a normal cat, mind you. Greets the birds in the garden with a tail up and looks so sad they won't play with him.
I'm looking forward to more entrants yet - but no more oven ready birds, please.

Well in your case I've certainly come to that conclusion, but please carry on because you make me laugh(in a nice way)

It's no good, I can't let it go without at least trying! This is one of my favourite pics of little Rosemary, who doesn't know if she's a she or a he!
She/he grew her large comb and wattles at the same time as the 2 cockerals, but she/he doesn't crow. She's half the size of the rest of the Amberlinks we had, but doesn't lay eggs either!!!!

I think you may have just trumped the rest of us there slowef :D
Annie - can you get him/her gender reassignment surgery on the NHS ?
We've got a pot egg he/she could pretend is his/hers.
Rob
-
Oh Slowef, that is sooooo cute!!!!!!
lol Rob, I can try I suppose!!!! I've got some china eggs, perhaps if I dot them around, Rosemary will think they are hers???? lol
Munty said I should put her on her own, but so she can see the other girls, then she'll either start to crow as she wants to get to them to mate, or she'll start to lay as she realises she's a girl!!!!!, but I've got nowhere to put her mate now, all my houses are being used!
-
Always feel sorry for the underdog.
Maybe she's happy in her own little way !
-
She seems happy enough Rob! they were both a bit iffy about coming out of their new house this morning, but a few strategically placed bits of bread, and they were fine! lol

http://www.photobox.co.uk/
Ive found them good - but obviously i have nothing to do with them! They do 50 free prints when you sign up too which was great. Although - the guys in the printing office must have been confused with our random mix of wedding pictures and chickens!!

Oh what a happy Worzel she would really make…………………….
If only she would join me for tea & a slice o’cake
So please if you would be so kind & tell me where she is
I don’t think this is something she would like to miss
Ok, I’ll tell you where to find her & I know this for a fact
You’ll find her on the poultry pages having a poultry chat :lol:

Does voting open and close tomorrow? I am going to a wedding and have to leave at 8am so may not get to vote!
It is so hard to judge as you can't look at them all next to each other - need a thumbnails page with them all on. This is so exciting! Do we only vote for one or is it top three - I can't decide!

Don't watch soaps sorry. I think you're bonkers to watch it :lol:
I think every time I've ever switched that programme on someone is sleeping with someone they shouldn't or they're having a pint in the pub. Can't be bad :twisted:
-
Sorry John, :oops:
Can't wait for the next competition.
-
Sorry John, :oops:
Can't wait for the next competition.
No problem at all :)
As for soaps, what rubbish. Fancy watching them on TV! Tskk. Anyway, onto serious stuff. Will's having a rough time, isn't he? What with losing his new love and the police searching the shoot. Still, at least Phil's happy with his telescope and Cathy got justice, but how long will Taylor be in gaol?

Hi People, so sorry for the delay in responding and a big thanks to all who voted for my photo, I am truely humbled :oops:
I have never won a competition before.
I will be giving the winning subjects double mealworms as their reward as they don't read so well but their gardening prowess is coming on, just need them to dig weeds instead of produce :wink:
