"Study co-author Iveta Karabozhilova called for greater regulation of back
garden chickens and more communication between householders and health
officials."

I thought it was Labour who wanted to legislate everything.
If there are 500,000 people keeping chickens then applying regulations to
them isn't going to be easy or cheap (cheep?).

No doubt this will also roll over to allotments.


No doubt this is more rubbish from the Daily Mail.


Actually for the Mail that is a fairly balanced article.

There isn't enough awareness among chicken owning public of the welfare
requirements of hens when kept as garden pets/lifestyle accessories.

Lot's of houses (including mine) have covenants in the deeds forbidding
the keeping of poultry.
