thanks for the link happy valley I have just signed the petition and my family will follow soon.

I do think if people realised how easy and pleasurable it is to keep chickens more people would do it if only with three hens, but I suppose it is not the norm now, people look at me with astonishment when they find out I keep chickens, or assume that I live in the countryside, but most of them have cats, dogs or bunnies and just hadnt considered having chickens.

Ok, we have a cat and a dog, but at least you can eat the eggs from a chicken, and maybe the chicken too if necessary, but OH won't hear of 'bunnies' or anything else, unless we can eat them too!  And if I kept 'bunnies' to eat, our kids wouldn't come to visit us at all!!!!!
