I know that's a possible solution and very suitable for a larger piece
of
land, I've tried persuading Welsh daughter to have one. But for us no,
we
don't want a dog. When we go off the hens take up enough room in the
back
of
the car,

You have aroused my curiosity. Do you take them on holiday or just
shopping?

We don't go on holiday but we spend quite a bit of time away from home. The
hens go with us. Spouse made a travelling coop which fits in the back of the
estate.

We rarely go shopping - hate it - but when we do the hens stay at home. Why
should they suffer too?
