    hundreds of pounds from online questionnaires
    rescuing feathered friends from the slaughterhouse

    A savvy mum has been dubbed the crazy chicken lady after spending the hundreds of
    pounds she earns by filling out online surveys on rescuing feathered friends from the
    slaughterhouse.
    Clucking mad for a bargain, Kristine Jones, 36, estimates she makes a round £150 a
    month by completing questionnaires money she then splurges on her 17 beloved rescue
    chickens.

    to fill out marketing surveys.
    Since then, she has been spending two to three hours every day answering
    questionnaires even setting up a designated email account to ensure she never misses
    an offer.
    Giving her views on everything from brands to politics, she earns hundreds of pounds a
    year, often in the form of vouchers.
    She explained: Every time you fill out a survey, you get points, which
