Reading this post has convinced me to get some hens. Bring on the poo paranoia and all other associated strangeness that seems to go hand in hand with keeping hens.

Welcome barrashens to the mad house then, wave goodbye to holidays though, unless you can get someone to look after your flock.

yep we are totally in love with them already :wacko: . We werent expecting eggs for 2 weeks but have had 3 already . We already have one that follows us everywhere in the hope that we have corn and she is fully tamed and easy to handle . Many thanks for putting us in touch with him . Was it you he mentioned had a hen with a poorly toe . If so i hope she is on the mend and fighting fit . Harold really is a lovely chap and i will definately be recommending him to others if need be  :D
