Brooding hen has chicks in nesting box

If anybody is near their TV sets at 9.45 there is an episode of Escape to the Country where a couple are looking for a home for them and their 200 chickens!!

Thanks - would like to watch that

[Egg Lou]

[Omletina Kyckling]

They didn't get to buy it, their buyers pulled out and then they were gazumped - this is them - http://www.homefarmfowls.co.uk/home.html

 

I want to move to Lincs now!!

I want number 3 !!! 4 acres - what I could do with that!

[Egluntyne]

Oooh! I've bought lots of stuff from them!

 

Will try to catch it later on iplayer if I can.

I really wish I hadn't looked at their website , there's lots of gorgeous stuff on it!

 

I hope they get their dream place sorted- good luck to them!

I thought you meant 9.45 tonight - what channel was it on? I've bought a couple of items from them - my egg-skelter arrived only this week, with free packet of fried egg sweets!

Sorry - I'd have put 21.45 if I'd meant tonight. I only knew about it because my mum sent me a text at 9.30 to say it was on in fifteen minutes, so I quickly put the post on the forum, so perhaps I wasn't precise enough.

 

It was on BBC1 so it might be on iPlayer so you can watch it on your PC?

My fault for not reading it properly Diane, I'll check out i-player - thanks

Here's the link to the programme on iPlayer. Ignore the fact it says Somerset, it is the right programme!! The chickens are only on at the beginning, but the houses they look at are fab!

I would really like to have watched the whole programme, my dentist has a new TV and while I was laying in the chair this morning it was on above my head. I hate going to the dentist, but this morning I did end up thinking I wish I could be in the chair for longer, shame my hunk of a dentist kept getting his head in the way though !

Oh, I would have loved to watch that programme . We bought Phil & Brie from them, about 3 years ago now as their Orpington home is really close to where we used to live. They were simply charming and passionate about their hens.....and trying to sell even then. I'd heard that they'd been having a really tough time with sales etc falling through . I truly hope that they manage to move soon.
