I’m looking into keeping chickens in the rear of my garden. The rear space is 3/4 enclosed by 6 foot high wall, For the other quarter I am going to have a chicken wire fence and gate. The question is, if i get the chickens clipped, how high should my fence be to keep them in? I wont need a netted roof on the space will I? The area is about 25 square metres.

Cheers, any other advice for newby chicken keeper also welcome

My nephew has chicken pox came up in spots on sunday & he is coming over this weekend for my mother in law’s b-day. The weekend after is his 1st b-day so we will be going over to see him again. I have already had chicken pox myself when I was 6 but was just wondering how important it is to keep away as I am 17 weeks pregnant today?

It’s a long one, i understand if you dont wanna bother.

Ok so basically Im 13 Years old, I live in London and Im 14 next week. I weigh around 14 stones ( i know im huge) and basically i’ve had enough of all this shit at school being teased and also not being able to do alot of sport, because i really enjoy sport, i just dont have the physical ability.

I recently, well just now realised im going to lose weight and this time i’ll do it properly. Usually when i go on one of these ” weight loss boosts” within the first few hours i give up. I have literally no willpower when it comes to weight. I know this time that i’m not going to give up. My favourite meat is Chicken and when i have chicken its usually fast foods or frozen meals. This is because i’ve been born into an Indian family and most of my family are veggies, with the exception of my other British Citizen cousins. A few months ago my Dad passed away, and this caused a downfall in the amount of money we get. When i say we get i mean from my mum working my grandad’s pension etc. My Dad was of a retired age and he got pension too. I live with my Mum and Grandad, and this is where the issue of the food i eat comes in.

I feel bad to ask my mum for money to go buy fresh meat to cook all the time because we dont have alot of money nowadays and i understand how hard it is as my mum doesn’t have the best of jobs, and I’m sick of getting fat from frozen foods. Im a cooking enthusiast but i dont have a big interest in a cooking career, maybe as a back up. I’ve been youtubing how to cook chicken healthily etc. I just dont feel its right i keep asking for money. My mother is usually going out and buying frozen foods. I’m trying to make this as short as possible btw. Before you judge you do not know how hard it is to tell my mother NOT TO BUY ANYTHING UNLESS I ASK. It’s gotten to a point where i’ve become an anger maniac. So basically if i tell her tomorrow not to buy any foods that are frozen or junk, she’ll say just buy it you’ll have nothing else to eat and you hate indian food, and she wont listen, but this isn’t the problem.

The main few things i want to know is How to cook chicken in a healthy way any recipes etc, how to keep my willpower under control, how to lose weight at a moderate pace, say a pound a week or so?, and how to stay slim once i am slim. I also have EA sports active 2 on the wii but recently stopped again because of will power. I am going to start up again and also i will be biking more because its summer now.

P.s I want to know a few good crunch and sit up techniques, i can’t do push ups because i literally have no strength to carry all my weight, i dont want to end up a 50 year old man who weights 400 pounds and can’t walk. My cousin said to vary the sit ups by pausing half way thru the sit up and waiting 2 – 3 seconds before going up and then pause again on the way back down.

If you’re still reading at this point thank you so much for actually going thru, even if you scanned through it. I appreciate it .
Yeah Please dont be stupid and tell me to take weight loss pills or give random links, if you’re not going to be helpful then please just dont comment
And thanks all you guys so far, really appreciate it

My neighbour keeps pet chickens in the garden. I was listening to them today and some of the noises they make sound as though they’re on the in-breath (during inhalation). The typical chicken sound is (spelling it as best I can): "uck uck uck uck uck aaaaaaarck". It’s that "aaaaaaarck" at the end that sounds as though it’s on the in-breath.

A video of chickens making the same noise would help to explain what I mean:

The chicken in this video is making only the "aaaaaaarck" sound. She puffs her chest as though she’s taking in air as she makes the noise:

Thanks owlwoman, that’s very interesting.

‘He used to force me go to a ballet class when I was a kid, kicking and screaming, I might add. ‘ I smiled at the thought. ‘But I just wouldn’t go. Maybe because horseback riding has always been my favorite past time since I was a little kid.’

‘You ride horses?’ James sounded surprised,eyeing me from my dark, curly hair down to the red dress I’m wearing.
‘Surprised?’ I said, pulling the dress a little above my right knee, revealing a light brown scratch on my skin. ‘A scar when we both fall off Gypsy.’
‘Gypsy?’ He asked, obviously rattled.
‘My horse. He died a few days after my father passed. Nobody knows the reason why. He missed my father too much, I guess?’ I added a slight laugh. ‘and my mom almost fainted that time.’
I may have sounded too emotional, but the interest on James’ face showed, so I continued. ‘He’s the kind of father who would make you cry out of his humor, and make your life awkward for an hour when he gets mad.’
‘You must be seriously missing him, huh?’ James asked, his eyes sparkling at the reflection of the yellow lights outside as we made our way through a tunnel.
‘What do you think?’ I gave a slight laugh. ‘I do miss him.I miss hearing his funny voice every morning when he tries to get the chickens around him to feed them. We live in a farm.’
‘So I guess you might be expecting to hear about me, huh?’ James said. ‘I’m afraid I’d bore you to sleep.’ He chuckled- one that would make every girl swoon at the husky, gentle sound of it.
‘Look. We have eight more hours inside the train and I wouldn’t want to spend all that into sitting.’ I said encouragingly, swiftly nodding my head. ‘Shoot.’

‘Where do I start..’ his voice was heaven sent. ‘James Edward Christian Rodriguez Carter is my real name. ‘

‘Wait..James what?’

Would that keep you reading? Do I write in an interesting way? Please be honest with me, and don’t bully me, because english is not my first language. Don’t tell me I’m really good either! Just be honest, okay? Thanks.

we have a reasonably large garden, thinking about two or three hens…had them as a kid and loved them any advice?
Thanks everyone…Daniel you need help!

…I don’t know how to deal with anymore?
I have a 3 year old who gets looked after by his grandparents when I’m at work. Although I know noone would give him as much love and attention in terms of childcare, we have had ongoing problems. One of them is the fact they don’t listen to anything my partner and I tell them (eg no fizzy drinks, not saying yes to his every whim, sleep times, potty training, I could go on for ages), and that problem will be solved when he goes to school and to a childminder, but it is I think linked to the second problem I need your advice on.
Basically, everytime I talk to him, they talk to him at the same time, sometimes asking him to do different things than what I’m telling him to do. It’s a bit difficult to explain, so I will give you a couple of examples. Today he hadn’t had his nap and it was his birthday, so he was pretty excited and wild. But it was time for bed, and I put him in his jammies and asked him to go to the loo before I put his nappy on. He was on his way to the potty, and both of them piped in and told him to go on the potty. Afterwards, I told him we were gonna put the nappy on, and lo, both of them said the same thing again.
Another time we were all at the zoo, he was eating, but being a toddler, he takes time to chew, and they just kept going on at him, eat, eat when he still had stuff in his mouth. Then he started feeling full and started playing, and hadn’t eaten too much, so I told him not to play with his food and told him to eat 2 more pieces of chicken and we’d go. They kept doing the same ‘do this do that’ and told him to finish his fries instead.
Sorry about the lengthy examples, but I just wanted to give examples. Any extended family outing I get the same: I will be talking to, or even disciplining my child, and the whole family will start talking to him at the same time, when I am dealing with my son, very often contradicting me. And I don’t think 4 people talking to a child at the same time is a very good idea in terms of training him to listen. I know I’d switch off, and I’m an adult!
The thing is, they are very nice and we do get on, although this behaviour is starting to really get the best of me. I’ve tried saying ‘I’m here’ in a firm voice and a dirty look, but that has not made a difference. Any advice on dealing with the issue? Again, sorry about the lenthy novel, and thank you for your suggestions.
