Jane, thankyou  I think without him knowing it was so definite, he wouldnt have made a decision. Yesterday he uttered those famous words 'at the end of the day they are just chickens' tonight he agreed they meant more to the family than that.

Oh, and he is looking forward to building their new abode!

OK, when push came to shove (ie Jane potentially coming tommorrow to collect Oeuf-elia and Pauline, my husband finally agreed that he didnt really want them to go.

I am so excited - we have ordered another house and run, which should be delivered on Friday and can be put up on Saturday, so that my darling girls can have their own space, and my big girls can have theirs, and peace can once again reign in the garden.

I am so happy I could scream!

Aww that's great!

That's great    Hope you can now get back to enjoying chicken keeping rather than all the stress and worry you have had recently
