lol@ male friends picture in my mind. Should we all hold these 'piddle parties'? I'm sure most blokes would love to attend and we would simply supply lots and lots of beer to make the 'amber nectar' ROFL

the fox came back, but this time got a cockerel  I found feathers this morning it had broken into its hutch. I guess if the fox is that hungry it will get them anyway |

| What a horrible attitude just to accept it will be back to kill the rest of them and there is nothing you can do! You were given useful information on how to protect your chickens. If you chose to do none of them and simply allow your poor birds to be slaughtered, then for gods sake give them away and don't keep any more. It will be back time after time after time if it finds a sloppy poultry keeper who won't protect their birds properly as it takes advantage of easy pickings. |

I am doing my best to keep the rest safe of course. I have spent the morning reinforcing the others pens. It is just a distressing thing to happen when they were all couped up, but thats nature. I have now also set up some nets of hair around the runs, which i will have to keep building up i expect!
Thankyou everyone. |

Watch your mouth fenwomen!  This is said as me and has nothing to do with the moderation team. |

| I do think fenwoman's post is a little offensive, without prior knowledge of what nugget has done to protect her flock, it's a bit harsh |

| The saying if you have nothing nice to say, then keep your mouth shut comes to mind. |

Ben you may be a moderator but I object most strongly you do telling me on a personal level or not, to "watch my mouth". I never swore or said anything offensive and you are only a little boy whereas I am a middle aged woman. On a personal level I find your turn of phrase highly offensive. You are showing a simple lack of good manners. |

I clearly stated being a moderator has nothing to do with this. The moderation team may punish me if they wish for anything i have said or am going to say. The simple fact is you were rude and offensive yet again, but you jump on your moral high horse and attack me instead of saying sorry to nugget. Hmm the phrase and the horse you rode in on comes to mind.
I state again the moderation team hasn't nothing to do with this |

And the saying don't be so bloody rude, coimes to my mond. If this is all going to start again Ben I will leave the forum for once and for all. I never swore, I wasn't rude, I simply expressed my anger that someone simply gives up and lets the fox return to kill more birds. I feel justified in saying so and justified in saying that if a poultry keeper will not or cannot keep her stock safe, she must give up keeping them. Not nice perhaps but quite simply the most common sense and humane solution. I object most streongly to a young inexperienced lad of 18, telling a woman of 51 to "watch her mouth"/ Ben you would not say that to me face to face so don't be brave from the safety of the forum. After all, no doubt we will meet face to face this year at a poultry show and I would not like to embarrass you in public by slapping your mouth!
You know I am outspoken. You know I simply cannot abide sloppy husbandry especially if animals are made to suuffer. To have a fox kill your birds the first time is horrible but to have it happen again is careless and cruel.
If you owned a dog which got on the road and was hit by a car, then a week later the same thing happens, most reasonable people would express exasperation that the owner seemed incapable of taking proper care of it and ensuring it was kept safe. It is no different with poultry. |

inexperienced lad of 18. must have the wrong person there  . Why you feel age has to come into this is beyond me. No poultry shows for me sorry to disappoint.

To be fair Fenwoman , the way you came across was a little harsh , you didn't know what extra measures nugget had taken , she might have thought she'd done enough and the fox still got in .
Ben and you obviously just rub each other up the wrong way and are BOTH outspoken, age does not come into it , I think it best to leave it at that and agree to disagree for now |
