Cluck Cluck

I want chickens! Last year on holiday the gite that we stayed at had some (above) and then watching The Edible Garden, Alys Fowler had a couple. And a family down the road do! For the last year or so I've been really getting into the idea of urban agriculture and my vegetable cultivation has started slowly. So why not add hens into the equation.

We've been researching getting some former battery hens, who would otherwise be slaughtered. The British Hen Welfare Trust has lots of info and local co-ordinators - even one in our town! So I reckon it won't be long til we have our own cluckers in the garden...
