In the end i gave him ?5, and i kept the Chicken myself, Built it a little pen at the bottom of my garden and had it for about 2 or 3 years before it passed away natually.

I called it "Cocky" poor little thing, i remember buying sweetcorn for it

My great gran rescued 2 little chicks from being slaughtered unfortunately in an accident during a dinner party one of them got stood on. Stories told by my parents was that everytime at dinner the chicken would jump onto my great grans lap and get fed like a child. I only remembered a moment ago as i read your post.
