Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Another positive, factually accurate article (and less sugary than the Mail's ). Only error I spotted was the description of a crop as "ashen and blue" - presumably it was the comb . I also had to look up "carnaptious" (bad-tempered or quarrelsome). http://www.theherald.co.uk/features/features/display.var.2323166.0.Flying_the_farmyard_coop_for_a_fresh_taste_of_city_life.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Thats a nice little article - shame the Eglu wasn't in the piccy though. Interesting that he doesn't mention getting more hens when he moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Well written but a shame there was no photo to go with it. More hens?........ who would do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I know - Mum is paying for ANOTHER cube but seems to think it's odd that I want more hens! 2 cubes and an Eglu for 8 hens? I don't think so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 A very positive article, ANH. Thanks for sharing it with us. I like the idea of the city hens moving to an island life to "get back to nature". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 I was out with work last night at a 5th year leavers' do and the Outdoor Ed teacher (normally a very taciturn bloke) called me over to tell me he'd seen this article . (I think I have a reputation as mad chicken woman at work .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
