FAO Chookie - chooks
 

Hi Chookie...

You did the rent-a-chook thing didn't you? How are they going/How did it go?
Haven't read the group for a while so I may have missed things.

DH has just (already) given me my Christmas present - 4 chooks! For a
second hand chookpen that he bought me a few weeks ago. They will start
laying in 2-3months.

:)

Laying well! And I have found a source of layer mash only 10 mins away, at a
good price.

After some extensive rain a few weeks back ruined our pile of lawn clippings
(when dry, we use them for guinea pig bedding), we tossed it all in to the run
for the chooks to scratch in. They were just starting to create hard bare
patches, so it's been good for them to have soft stuff underfoot.

Quiches and their ilk have become usual weekend food. :-)

They'd be 4 French Hens, would they?

Watch out for the maids a-milking, pipers piping et al -- has anyone else
heard the lovely exchange of letters between Cynthia Bracegirdle and Algernon
ffotherington-Smythe?
