I get the new chickens from a free range poultry farm they only keep them for so long then they sell them for £1-50 each. I only had 8 old ones left so I sent them to Kentucky Fried Chicken :lol: :lol:

That sounds a bargain. Mine never seem to get to the 'old bit' what with feral cats and the odd fox. Hope they lay well for you.

Consider it done, Codger, i'll wander over at 9.30 am. And as for the weather, it's going to be fine and quite mild.

I wonder if you will get any eggs tomorrow. :)

Don't you think you should keep discussion of what time you are picking up free ranging birds private?

I think the word,"smart" might be pushing it a little. :)

I think a more appropriate word would be "cunning". :D
