Jackie and I both enjoy our chickens Audrey and Ethelreda. But Audrey and Ethelreda do not enjoy being confined to their (large-ish) coop. But if we let them out they gleefully destroy our garden. And Jackie wants to start growing more vegetables. And then a friend of my mum wants to acquire two reliable layers for her large menagerie and garden just outside Baldock. So today we helped our chickens move into their new home and it looks like they will be very happy: they will mostly be confined to a coop with three other chickens and a guinea pig – but this coop has many perching places and is almost as big as my whole garden.
