Hens are a Girls Best Friend


Whoever said it was diamonds was mistaken. Next to worms they have to be the gardeners greatest help. I ordered a custom built run in our workshop & surprisingly had it delivered within the week. This 'run' is built to be moved around the fruit/veg patch with the aim being that my new feathered friends do the weeding. They have almost cleared a 10ft x 10ft patch in 1/2 day. So now, not only are we having our weeds uprooted, they're giving us eggs & in the future will also be providing meat & if you call getting woke at 6am an advantage then we also have a real living alarm clock. They will be repaid by being allowed out completely free range when they finish the gardening.
