    Himself is chicken mad.
    We have many in the house, not real I hasten to add.:)

    He chats to peeps on a site called www.hencam.co.uk
    lots of interesting chat on that forum plus lots of great people.
    What Himself likes is the fact that there is a webcam in the chicken coop so he gets to see his girls (as he calls them)

    I know he'd love ot keep some in the garden and I do think that we could fit them in, the only reservation we have is the cost and also the fact that you have to make arrangements for them to be looked after if you so much as go away for 1 night....

    Maybe one of these days.:cool:

    Not necessarily-we have a hen house over a "secure" run so if we go away for a weekend the girls are left in there with food and water. They hate it but it means they are secure and self sufficient for a few days. The rest of the time they wander about a much bigger run at the bottom of the garden.
