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

    • And the Sainsbury’s own brand chocolate mini rolls have gone from £1.15 to £1.40 overnight, so 22%-ish. I prefer them them to the Cadbury original because they have a lot more chocolate on them, presumably because they’re made in a less advanced factory. I would think that getting the Rizla thin coating of chocolate that Cadbury’s accountants demand onto a piece of sponge is quite a sophisticated operation. Discuss.
    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
