You are truly lucky as an awful lot of Staffordshire is a HRA. I have to wait until May despite no outbreaks within 40 miles.......

Well TBH I think I'll keep mine as they are, permanantly in one run or another, rotating each afternoon. They don't seem that bothered and are all laying. 8)

Everything in the garden is wet and soggy at the moment, bulbs are all coming up, lawn is greening up nicely. If I let them out now we will have a swamp in an afternoon and 3 very dirty birds. :unsure:

Also our conservatory is largely free of dust  and arrowhead foot prints. Maybe when the weather is better I will let them out under very close supervision :D

Another bonus is if I have to nip out, I can do so without worrying about the fox and cats, sneaking in the garden in daylight, which has happened more times than I would like >:(

If anyone is confused why there is an arcade machine at the bottom of this thread, I was ment to attach the DARPA map of my area, I must have clicked the wrong picture lol!

FYI, I collect vintage arcade machines, mechanical fruit machines (50's/60'5) and also have started to restore an EM Pinball machine (Electro Mechanical)...... I like to keep busy :)
