Default Wohoo - thanks Madmax!!

Thanks to my ever-wonderful hubby and his hard work, we will be collecting 3 warren chooks on Friday evening!! Just got to finish off the perch, pop hole and the hinged end on the run now! We went to see the hens tonight to work out how many we could fit in.

Boy oh boy am I excited....

Way-hey! Hens! Going to see some myself today. However, they belong to friends of my daughter and family so I'm only going to drool.

Yeuch! Going to try making pickled eggs though! With those and Jerusalem fartichokes (thanks to the Dobby's) we should be able to cut the heating bills for the winter

Oh yes I did some pickled eggs a couple of weeks ago for a friend - I can't stand them!!! Going to stay with them this weekend so I think I'll take a peg for my nose
