The message m
from Tim Challenger "timothy(dot)challenger(at)apk(dot)at" contains
these words:


House-trained hens.

Unfortunately the birds pick around the meadows and under the pear trees
across the road but rarely come over to us. So I can't take advantage of
their unofficial deposits. I might be seen sneaking around after them with
a trowel during the hours of dusk though....

The place to look is in the shed where they sleep at night, under
their roosting bar, on the dropping board. It's called "the dropping
board" for a very good reason :-)
