Point of lay hens and more

I am pleased to report that Point Of Lay Hens For Sale dot Co dot UK is coming under new management. Although I initially offered the site for sale on eBay I am reasonably pleased that it did not sell, despite being on offer at an exceptionally good price.

This now gives me the opportunity to write about one of my favourite beasts, the common or garden domestic hen. By the end of June this site will be buzzin’!

It has been brought to my attention (okay, the wife said Oi! Ken! Lookatthis) that B&Q are now selling chicken coops in their current catalogue.

Tesco, who recently bought Dobbies the garden centres, is selling not only coops but chickens at their Edinburgh centre. The hens are kept down near the fruit trees and generally do not get as far as the bedding plants, but they laugh at the three foot high fence around their run.
