A few weeks ago I went to post a letter (honestly!) on a wet night. We've
had a lot of those recently. I noticed a huge number of snails on the

give to my hens.

Mary!!!!!! I cannot believe you gave them to the hens! Here (in
France at the moment) I buy snails, to eat, no way can my hens, when I
get them, have my snails.

Ours are not the kind you eat, our hens love snails, especially small ones,
they fight over them.

p.s. This p.m. I am going to Clermont Ferrand to see a hen house aka
the Mary Fisher type one. It's not your Eglu but on the same
principle, hopefully it will be as good, if not the removal van will
be bringing an Eglu.

I'd be interested to know about yours.
