The hens go with us. Spouse made a travelling coop which fits in the
back of the estate.

A sort of chicken coupé?

No wheels and a hard top but a nice one anyway :-)

Would a chicken toupée keep the foxes away?

these words:
The message
from Jaques d'Alltrades contains
these words:


My (now retired) barber used to dig the hair clippings into his garden,
and grew prize vegetables on the diet.

He probably wasn't doing much chemical hair treatment. These days, the
sweepings from hairdresser's floors are probably classifiable as toxic
waste.

Hmmm. Just look where Hempnall is, and you won't be surprised when you
meet a horsedrawn lorry laden with wicker baskets of fuller's earth.....

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?

/snip of familiar tale/

A mechanical barrier, in our experience, has been the only effective
prevention of fox ingress, it works where all the chemical ones haven't.

My fiend the Head Keeper surrounds his ¾ acre of rearing pens (where he
keeps several thousand laying pheasants) with two strands of electric
fencing wire, and that certainly does work.

If you want details you could ask him - you'll find him in z.local -
name of Mark Howard.

I don't know why I waste my breath sometimes. I said that we HAD solved the
problem and that electric fencing wasn't suitable in our situation.

Now that's not fair. Spouse and I each hate shopping so much that we
wouldn't make the other do it alone. Why should just one suffer? We've done
everything - well most things - together for 45 years, we might as well
continue.

As for the Opera - I wish ...
