Re: keeping chickens

We had goats, chickens and horses when I was a kid... It was my job to milk the goats before school..... as a result I can't stand the smell or taste of goats milk.... it disgusts me.... at an auction when I was living in a bedsit in Norwich I brought 140 day old chooks, took them to my parents and grandpaprents house.... they were loved and fed layers mash ..they turned out to be cockerals .... all but two of them... which is why I got them for about Â£2 ... they got eaten... The billy kids used to get sold to a carribean restaurant, I don't know what they did with them, but we were often guests of honour on a Saturday night:unsure:

I think you should write a book about your experiences Arkon ! you really do have a way with words.
good luck

Nicky :)

Absolutely! I'd read it and send it to my father, who would love your adventure. I know you aren't loving it, but it would make for really great reading.

Oh yum, goat meat stew & goat meat curry mmmmmmm maybe it is worth getting a couple of goats again. I agree with you about the milk though it's an acquired taste that I never really acquired:unsure:
When I named the two lambs Mint Sauce & Roast Potato one year my sister finally twigged what we kept them for and has been a veggie ever since.
