Thanknyou so much that is very nice to hear (or to read I guess!).
Yes I can get all the advice on those chickens from my friend, it's true. We are going to pick them up, we finally decided it is a good idea.
It's just a matter of timing now. In two days we go off to a music festival ti build compost toilets and won't be back till after july 4th... so the chickens may be better off where they are for now, where someone has an eye on them
