Cubie, the only thing to look forward to about reaching your age is that my legs will become all thin and hairless

Poison one of the chickens and leave it out tonight - that will do the job

Re: Last One to Post Wins
Really sorry about that but the fox has to live as well. Did he get into the chicken run or did you leave them out? Sounds like a better fence is needed

They free range. He came back last night in broad daylight and tried to get another one from the run. We've just had a new fence put up.

Electric fences? Build a Watchtower? Have armed guards patrolling the boundary 24 hours?
I think you might have to shut them in the coop at night

They are shut up at night! They're shut up in the run for the forseeable.

Peace and love, dear heart, peace and love! Everything has a right to live, however humble (or bloody annoying!). Just off to knit my own yoghurt and wear a flower in my hair !

Next time you venture north to Hartlepool, maybe you can get some exploding chickens instead of trousers.

Nope - mayonnaise, tomato sauce and paprika with delicate cucumber slices and a dash of freshly ground sea salt and black pepper (at least it was freshly ground at 7:30 this morning)

Thank you for your concern, but no toasties for me today: home made soup and French bread instead.

Does she know that the food standards people found traces of chicken DNA in the samples they analysed?
