Buttercup80 Â Â 10 #1 Posted July 21, 2008 I was just re-reading the thread from the beginning of this year, which was started up as a result of the Jamie Oliver / Hugh FW programmes. At the time, i had a nightmare trying to buy organic chicken as sainsburys were constantly sold out and were having to source new suppliers. It's pretty much back to normal now but i wonder if that is due to new suppliers or if the demand has dropped as time has gone by. Â If you were one of the ones who decided to stop buying cheap chicken and go free range / rspca freedom / organic, have you stuck to your decision or have you gone back to cheap chicken as the media frenzy has died down and the credit crunch has come in?

H.P Â Â 10 #5 Posted July 21, 2008 Not at the moment, we do not really get enough. One of my hens was so traumatised by her former life and was in such a sorry state when we got her that she rarley lays. when the other two arrive we may get a surplus of eggs, but they will probably get scrounged by the family. The eggs taste so good everyone wants to take a couple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Space   10 #10 Posted July 21, 2008 Why not rescue a couple of hens and have your own supply on tap..  Hahaha! Because I'm one of those people who would hate them to be outside in the winter and bring them in for a warm.. Maybe even let them sleep in the front room at night!  (like I did 3 years ago when I was looking after the next doors rabbit.. We had no bloody wardrobe left in the morning!)
