I really want chickens
So, what's stopping you from getting a few hens? They are no trouble to keep and of course you get wonderfully fresh eggs.

Oh that's a real shame. Perhaps your neighbours might like to share a few chookies?

I know what you mean. Ours our ex-battery hens and I like the idea of the little feathery things having a bit of a life. They free range in summer and garden with me when I can keep an eye on them. They are great for clearing bugs out of borders.

She doesnt have as many customers as she used to when I first moved in, but its like having a cctv camera that shouts, she chases any kids away from the steet. Still not an ideal chiice of neighbour
