I will confess to being a bit bemused and bewildered when the student announced we were getting chickens. This of course being a ventrue designed to make us self sufficient and save lots of money. Something achieved by spending an eye watering ammount on equipment.
I will confess to being a bit of a convert I'm not a big egg eater but the little buggers are quite characterful and fun to have around. Scampering up to investigate whenever the front door opens and ever hopeful that there's some scrap bread.
The cats, initially seemed to confirm our worst fears, seeming to view them as "lunch" a view that did not survive for too long the chikens taking no time at all to see off the cats.
In fact, the chikens have decided the cats have a nice life, cat food is so much tastier than layers pellet apparently.
The eggs are keeping herself happy, and lots of others too as 4 eggs a day is way more than we can get through and they are being distributed like largesse amongst our friends.
She is not all about chikens though, having traced her mothers familly back to the 1700's My life is currently under scruitiny, the student on her geneology trail has got back to 1778 when my maternal grandfathers line were farming about 20 miles from here. Interesting stuff, when you consider that a lot of the locals view me as an outsider.
