Re: what a difference a day makes!

I was at the farm yesterday and not many looked like that lovely lady, my neice rehomed 3 and one is almost bald!

They were removed from the cages in january when the new law came in and have been in a barn since then, it wasnt a pretty site though.

Re: Townies dont like my cockerel. ;)

I feel their pain, a guy round the corner from me had one, we couldn't have our windows in the summer because he would start at around 4am.

And when you finish work at 11pm the night before the last thing you need is an early wake up call!
