Hehe! I like chickens. As you say, they are great entertainment value and sociable characters too once they get to know you.

I used to keep quite a bit of livestock back in the 80s in the days when I still ate meat. However I’ve gone to the dark side these days and am a pretty strict vegan, so no more livestock for me. I’d actually struggle to fit chickens in anyway as although my garden is a reasonable size, it’s pretty much all used for fruit and veg.

I do miss having these likeable critters about though.

And there will be nothing shabby about your efforts. Any move towards supporting yourself by growing food is to be applauded. We all do what we can. I’m just fortunate in having the time and space to do what I’ve done.
