We have just been to the Heckington Agricultural Show, had a wonder round for a couple of hours, stuffed our faces with local food.

When we got home imagine my shock when I found a Speckled Sussex & Skyline Pullett in the back of my Freelander I've no recollection of even going into the poultry tent, anyway if I did it was only to have a look

[eye1der]

they wont be the last.....

[Lovage]

They will be lonely, they are flock creatures - you need a few more!

[Bramble-Poultry]

How on earth could that have happened - oh well like all these little hiccups suppose you will have to love and care for them - such a hardship!!

Bet they are great - mildly "green eyed" as specked sussex is on my "want" list!

[MaureenHall]

They spotted you and said to each other "We could have a nice home with her!" (hope you are a her) and just followed you back to your Freelander, stowed away in the back, and hey presto!

As Sergei says "Simples "

[minskey]

I am a 'her' & I know they won't be the last.

Don't tell my partner, although it's all his fault we went inside to have a look. Although he did tell me he later that he wanted them all , I said I wish he'd said as there was only one skyline left & I was so sorry to leave her.................

No, stop it! I have 18 now

[Glutton4...]

ONLY 18???? - I've got 23 and Hayley's got, well, hundreds (nearly)!

[Bramble-Poultry]

18 - ahh you're getting there only another 100 odd to catch up with us

[MaureenHall]

No, stop it! I have 18 now

And I have 27 plus 3 foster chicks There's ALWAYS room for 1 more

[Snadger]

And I've lost count!

[weekendwellies]

You are so lucky to have chucks, I really want to have some but I cant. I live in an area where the youngsters like to vandalise things so I cant put them on my allotment. I am not so worried if some of my crops get trashed, I would be annoyed but could live with it but I would be gutted if the chucks got hurt or worse.
My dog and cat are getting on a bit now so when they are gone I would like to have just a few (2 or 3) chucks in my back garden where they will be safer. I couldn't have too many though as it is a fairly small garden and I want to finally have it as a proper garden too, not just a space for the animals.

[HayleyB]

ONLY 18???? - I've got 23 and Hayley's got, well, hundreds (nearly)!

ACTUALLY................. 41

I found somehow 2 cream legbars, and 2 wheaten marans (all 12 weeks old) in Denzel, haven't a clue where they came from

[minskey]

oooo lovely! Marans & Cream Legbars................................. PLEASE don't start me off again, No we can't have anymore!

I will not but any more chooks.I will not but any more chooks.I will not but any more chooks.I will not but any more chooks.I will not but any more chooks................ Which leave 'Find' 'rescue' 'hatch'

[Bramble-Poultry]

So they are all very viable options, if you were nearer always got rescues looking for homes!!
