I know someone who has layers and meat birds.

The layers have individual names and the meat birds are all called "Dinner"

Oh bless, there is no way I could do that, apart from being a veggie for 15 years, I just could not have animals and then eat them.

I think I would find it easier to go out hunting so I had not formed a relationship with my dinner.

It adds another dimension to: "I like to know what I'm eating "

Well I suppose you would know where it had been, lol

Yeah i know your right Aunt Sally - and I dont normally have a problem eating chicken

(its just the bit that gets it for my handsome baby Copper - to stuffed dinner)

i guess i'm not the tough cookie I once was..... Years ago i hand reared 2 lambs and they were called Chop and Sauce (but i still cried buckets when they were slaughtered)

Really daft question, why can't you keep Copper?

Hi, is the Rhodey a large fowl or a bantam, Also where are you situated as i was wanting either a R.I.R cock or a Light Sussex cock to go with my 6 ex batts.

Aunt Sally · « **Reply #12 on:** January 25, 2007, 18:53 »

I wouldn't put a cock with ex-battery hens if I were you. They won't be used to being stomped on by a cock and it won't make any differenc to the amount of eggs they lay. How many exbattery hens do you have :?:

Well fluffy, i cant keep him because of the crowing noise (neighbours), the like the chickens but asked me not to get a cock because of the noise .

My chickens are kept in the garden not on an allotment.

Kizza - The RIR is a heavy breed not a bantum (12 weeks old) - if you want more info feel free to pm me
