chrisnrob Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I was at a careers fair at a local college today and got talking to a lady who was there representing a local university (as it turns out, the one that I went to). She was interested in doing some voluntary work so I pointed her in the direction a few things and also put her in touch with someone who might be able to help her with a career change she was thinking about. In conversation it came up that she'd like to keep chickens and had already built a wooden coop and was about to start on the run. I was telling her about the Eglu, its advantages and talking about our experiences and also about the Hen Parties. Ten minutes later she came back to tell me that (i) she had decided to ask her friends and relatives for money for her 30th birthday so that she could buy an Eglu and (ii) she was going away to think about coming to a Hen Party.

Sheilaz Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Yes, isn't it great when a conversation unexpectedly turns to chickens, as you say, in the most unlikely places. That's brilliant news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
