still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts	Saw a chicken run sized for, and including 3 chickens, registered and vaccinated, all in for £300 at the weekend. Apparently they each lay an egg almost every day. Is this a good deal you reckon? I dont own, nor do I intend to own a tweed jacket at any point. That said, I never intended to do equipped PL either. Bollox.

Bollox. I too have seen these. I would consider getting one if I had ample garden space. I would also have a vegetable patch and walk around with my cock hanging out.

I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290 665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	When I lived on the farm as a kid we used to sell eggs. People would come from the surrounding towns and villages to buy our eggs and they were always commenting on how much better our eggs tasted than the shop bought battery produced eggs. I could never understand these comments at the time but looking back I now realise these people were under the misguided impression that the eggs we were selling came from the few chickens we had scratting about the farm yard rather than the local battery farm where we actually bought them from at trade prices...

My young cousin has about 100 "free range" chickens and makes a killing selling their eggs. hes about 14. People think there so much better, i just think there smaller but taste the exact same and i believe have the same macro breakdown?

If they are properly free range, and eat worms and bugs and stuff, they will have far more omega 3, and the fat will be generally better quality
