A few weeks ago we acquired a new addition to the household – 3 lovely clucking hens. As we have an acre field and nothing is currently being done with it, we've had grand plans for a while to have chickens, sheep and a kitchen garden. The sheep are on hold temporarily as we need to improve the fencing around the edge of the field before we can let leaping lambs loose in there, but chickens are much easier to keep restrained (or so we hope!).
