Tina, I know you are an authority on chickens. Would you consider
writing
up all the important points that a newby would need to know to start?
I would love to have that!!

First buy a 6 x 4 shed and not an Omlet stupid thing for hundreds.
Second don't think you don't have foxes - you do.
If you are thinking of starting with chickens yourself just mail me if
you
need advice.
No, I wouldn't write up the important points, those are freely available
in
magazines and the internet.
It's up to the person who decides to keep hens to do their research
before
they get them.
You are asking me to make it easy. I won't.
Tina

Nobody is asking you to make it easy, imo. This is a group to which
people come for help and advice and you're refusing to give it here. You
are very hard, always, on people who want to keep a few hens so why not
help them to do it properly - as you see it? If we didn't already have
our dozen chooks and were looking to start with a few, I'd think your
reply was intended to stop others doing what you enjoy and at which you
like to appear to excel. That's not what any of us who garden do here, so
why do you feel it right to do that to others who wish to keep hens?
Ophelia's was a civil request for assistance from you who talk quite a lot
about how others don't get it right but now refuse to tell them how they
*should* get it right. Bit smug and unkind both to would-be chicken
owners and the chickens who won't now benefit from your personal belief in
your own 'expertise'. You seem to spend a lot of time telling people how
much you know about something and then treating them as idiots. As a
result, there is little point in reading your posts in future, so I won't
bother.
Net nanny rides again.

Have I treated anyone as an idiot?
If so I apologise.
I have offered help to Ophelia if she wants to get chickens.
I don't remember upsetting Sacha but maybe I did. so now she doesn't want to
see my posts
It's ridiculous.



Sacha I know you are an authority on gardening. Would you consider
writing up all the important points that a newby would need to know to
start?
