This is why I haven't been around for a while.We have 2 new additions to the family.
My son has named them Chucky and Tara but we just call them stoopid 1 and stoopid 2. They are totally doolally. We have had them now for 11 days and for the past 7 they have been allowed to roam about the garden. They now come to me when I shout them as they think they will get bread and they follow us around the garden.
I think we must have the most insecure hens in history as they don't like being on their own. I was sat out on Tuesday on the patio and they came and laid at the side of me to sunbathe.
We have had an egg a day off each of them so far and believe me they taste so much different from shop bought eggs, even the free range ones that I always insisted we bought.
We have also bought a big plastic walk in greenhouse which currently has pumpkins, carrotts, spring onions, cucumbers and pansies shooting up in it with a large tomato plant outside and potatoes growing in pots. Hubby has even dug a plot out for me in part of the garden that we don't use.
It really is 'the good life'.

move over Tom and Barbara!! I'd love to have chickens, but in a suburban house with a little dairylea garden I dont think so!!
I agree with cinders, I SO want to move somewhere with a decent sized yard and have a few chickens of my own - I'll have to live vicariously thru your blog until the real estate market here gets better!
