I got the giggles visiting the hen farm when the owner said very dryly, " Oh you're the lady who ordered 5,000 hens " I answered, "or not "

I'm ordering my hen house from him ( and probably a run but I'm hoping to let them roam the garden. How do I know I will regret those words ? ) It can come flat packed or assembled . I've opted for the latter. Him out-of-doors might be useful on a boat but his DIY leaves me in despair - so I'll leave it to the egg sperts.

It gave me to imagining flat packed hens with pump, plug & instructions included.

Yes my kids do think I'm mad !
