I've arranged to pick up my chickens on Sunday and I'm so excited. I'm not sure if I'll get 3 or 4, I'll ask the farmer how big they get.


I've gone for the White Leghorn because they are ready now and they are good layers. This is what they look like apparently

But I'll post pics of mine when I get them.

I've also dug up my front lawn into 4 veg beds to the amusement of my neighbours and am hoping to get some horse manure to go with it tomorrow.


Gona do the same in the back garden after I've fenced off the end half.


You know my neighbours love me!! Hehe

Chav, manure is free from the Southern Railway Stables in Bermondsey - you have to take your own sacks. I think they charge for it at Dulwich stables. Make sure it is at least several months old and well rotted or it will scorch what you plant.

I got my chickens today, but can't upload the pics. They are great and despite all your doom-mongering, the dogs didn't even bark at them. Yallas whined a bit but Hannibal sniffed them and wagged his tail. they settled in nicely and I just hope my fox-proofing will prove to be truly fox-proof.


Big thankyou to hundredandone for all his help. Thank you

    • Does anyone know if the above is taking place this year. Can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere?   Simon
    • Hello, with the weather improving, I thought I would flag up the free access to leisure centres in southwark. 1. If you are experiencing poor mental and physical health and live in the borough, the GP exercise referral service allows up to three months of free use of leisure centers. There are three levels of support, and you can even refer yourself. read more for more info: Kickstart, Active Boost and Cardiactive - Everyone Health Southwark   2. If you don't have challenges with physical ands mental health, you can access the free swim and gym for a year. for more info: Free swim & gym eligibility requirements – Leisure Facilities in Southwark 3. Are you a blue badge holder? you can apply for the AD Permit, a virtual payment which allows disabled drivers to part on single and double yellow lines without the need of displaying a blue bae in the windscreen. there is also information for disabled residents to use the Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTNs) around the borough.  Exemptions for Blue Badge holders | Southwark Council Want more information? use the councils website: www.southwark.gov.uk               
    • I am about to tomorrow. I only just realised after asking some neighbours today. Agreed that smaller households should of course pay less, like discounted council tax bills for those on benefits for example. However as our bills have gone up astronomically generally in the last few years, I do feel hardworking families are being penalised... also avid gardeners will be penalised in the summer when gardens are watered no doubt. 
    • Hello Womanofdulwich, I had a meter installed in the summer of last year. Currently my bills have fallen massively. Can you remember which month your water meter was installed? Also I received two appointments, one from a group of staff in orange who decide if the property is suitable for the water meter, and then a second appointment for the meter to be installed, did you have the same thing? Are you saying as well that you was cold called regarding the water meter, or are you saying someone from Thames water turned up, at your door unannoyed?   Lastly (so sorry to through so much questions at you) how many bedrooms do you have and how many people live at the property?
