800 foxes sighted by people !!!! - I wonder how many of the 60 odd million people have been sighted by foxes. If I catch a fox digging my garden I'll make sure he gets 2 tea breaks and an hour for dinner, unless he's a lazy one in which case I'll sack the sod and get a redundant Polish builder in to...

We have 4 chooks, 4 cats and a wildlife pond - all in a very small area ( council house back garden ). The chooks have a biggish coop and run, The run is 16 foot by 5 foot and they also have free range of another 16 foot by 8 foot of garden + the patio when we are around to supervise. The pond is ri...

6 mile round trip for a 20kg bag of layers pellets and a bale of straw - total 7 quid

A decent cold chisel and big hammer will smash through the nails and leave full length planks to work with

Anyone thinking of buying hens please spare a thought for all those battery hens up for adoption. If you dont take them their only other foster home is a cat food tin

Nobody wants to live in a house called Whiskas

Rats and mice are very nice
cook with herbs not with spice
and eat with pasta not with rice


hope this helps

Sounds like a mouse / chicken conspiracy. If you help us get out we'll help you get to the food

Live and let live on this one. As long as you give em somewhere they like to be and they have enough food and water and decent shelter they will be chickens and do what they want. Its the what came first question really. If the egg came first and you have chickens you wont get any eggs. If the chick...

I cant see a problem here - all animals are wild even our cats dogs chooks etc were created out of wild animals. The fox is a natural inhabitant of the british isles which means its a british citizen. As we encroach on its natural habitat and therefore deprive it of its natural feeding ground I than...

The thing with these thieves is they should be prevented from breeding. I say castrate em before killing em

In these times of recession we need jobs - I'll do it ( but I would like a bit more than the minimum wage )

Have a good look at it as I have noticed a lot of these holes and they re all dug by the chooks from the inside out - they re just scratching around as they do. Mice wont dig a 4 inch hole and rats would probably only dig about a 2 inch hole to get in - theyre quite skinny but look bigger cos of the...

Just a few of the reasons I'm embarrassed to be british

If a cold didnt make you feel rubbish ................................................................ how would you know you had one ?

We have wood pigeons, collar doves and doves in our garden and they are a pain. They poo all over the place, don't let the other birds feed, and copulate all the time plus strip all the green veg bare and are very noisey. The dam sparrow hawks would sooner take blackbirds than doves but I have seen...

I think this credit crunch and subsequent lack of money may well have an impact on the modern way of massive over consumption. This includes picking and choosing every meal and the luxury of " I dont like that, I only eat that " etc I aint old enough to remember the war or anything but as ...
