Title: table chickens near coventry
Post by: bloomer on January 14, 2011, 12:48:16 pm

does anyone local to coventry (within half hour or so) keep chooks for the table?

I am seriously thinking about keeping some for the table this year but common sense says i should get some practical advice on things like dispatching them and getting them ready for the table, i am ready to trade some free labour (i'm a handy man so can do almost anything) for the advice i need ideally on a day someones planning to do some despatching etc.

either reply here or pm me and i'll get in touch.
