Some people we know - who live in Swanley, Kent, have chickens. They live on a council estate in what could only be described as 'pikey-ville'.
The local council have never got involved, but they dont tend to in that area as most of the people are of the good, honest, reliable gypsy type!
It seems to be a trend round that area, some even have cockreils and the noise they make is hilarious!
Once one of the buggers starts, they all go off on one
My uncle used to have a lot of chickens too - he even had a couple of goats!
He lived in Eltham at the time, and he had a massive garden with room for a large chicken coop at the end of it - dunno if it p*ssed off the neighbours - I was too young to remember.
The eggs were always really nice & we used to love the boiled eggs & soldiers my aunt would make us when we were kids.
Since then, eggs have never tasted quite the same..
I would love to have the room for some chickens because you gotta feel sorry for all those poor battery hens & the awful conditions they have to endure...
