After a day visiting my sister in Hitchin, Jackie and I shared a bottle of wine and reached a momentous decision. Our chickens Ethelreda and Audrey are very nice and they are efficient layers. But when in their coop, they constantly want to escape and scratch around in our garden. And when they are out scratching around in our garden, they do untold damage to everything except daffodils and slugs (both of which they detest). And we want to use the garden to grow more vegetables. After a year or so of daily fresh eggs, we have decided that we need to re-home our chickens.
