Wish me luck

I know it's been a while since I wandered in..(long story). BUT...I have just written a nagging letter to my landlords (housing Association) asking why I can keep pigeons in my back garden and not chickens! I am awaiting a reply and hopefully permission...considering I know chickens can't be...

Re: Anchor "free range" cows???

I have always bought free range, eggs, poultry, pork etc and have never given a thought to cows - stupidly believing them to always be free range. I have always tried to buy local beef when possible, but now I am not so sure I should. After walking past a local farm most days for the past 6 months I...

Re: Chicken Out Campaign

I can't work out if it is linked to the Compassion in World Farming's ongoing Chickens Out! campaign. Free range chicken is indeed a rapidly growing part of the poultry sector. However, I do find the site very confusing and muddled as it goes on about the benefits of free range and encourages...

How far does the average hen walk in a day?

Just thought I'd highlight an interesting trial carried out by Clarence Court to highlight British Egg Week. The experiment involved attaching a tiny counter to the hen's leg and monitoring the results. They concluded an average hen's step is four inches and collated the results over a 16...
