Getting the chickens for the first time caused talk in the village. My father-in-law was staying and loved seeing them arrive. We had an old shed down in the orchard that we put nesting boxes into. We buy dual-purpose hens so that we can have eggs and meat. The first night both my husband and father-in-law were seen trying to shoo them into their shed. The neighbour, with great patience, gently explained that the hens do not need to be shooed in; they know how to go in by themselves!
The hens are gorgeous. They’re fat
Oh, I remember when my grandpa asks me to catch a chicken for him
