for the last 2 days we've only had 2 eggs each day from 8 hens; they have been laying a lot more than that, but this morning hubby went to fed them and the run was open three of the hens were running about and no eggs! so methinks some-one has been where they're not meant to be; my money isn't safe and neither are my blooming chickens now; I'm finding me a desert island!!! :x  :x  :x  I know I say when life gives you lemons make lemonade, but I'm getting a bit sour-faced with all these lemons lately

If it's any consolation, my little sis had a pond which she stocked with ducks. Come December they all vanished.....  

Wouldn't it be nice to walk in on these two legged rats come Christmas eve and empty their fridge leaving them with a tin of beans.

[Aunt Sally]

Why leave the beans  :?:    :twisted:

[purplebat]

i can think of other things I'd like to leave; like a ride to A & E. Don't get me wrong; if some-one is hungry enough to steal our eggs, so be it, but don't leave the blooming run open!!! :evil:  like I said before I'm lucky I didn't lose more than a few eggs! big lock or several being fitted

[John]

Very unlikely someone is stealing out of hunger - they just steal anything they can get easily.

Incidentally, I was reading that you are better off shoplifting than putting too much in your dustbin in some areas. The thief gets a lower fine.  Yes, they are definately running the asylum now

it's a mad world !

:shock: I got so sick of the yob culture in England that I and my family moved to France to get away from it, but because I hear of this sort thing, I haven't really. However, I wouldn't come back to live as for me the grass really is greener.
I hope that you catch the scum bag/s.
I advocate corporal punishment in the presence of thier peers and I'm sure there would be no shortage of people willing to wield the stick.
'Nuff said.' Sorry to rant on.
