As usual, at this time of the year, we are overrun with chickens and ducks. The first of the excess cockerels went off to his new home last weekend and the rest will follow as soon as they are old enough to withstand being hen-pecked by their new wives. In the meantime, life in the chicken run us a bit chaotic, and I vow not to hatch out as many eggs next year.

This week sees the premier of our video: Keeping a Few Hens - the Movie, (available mail order from the Kitchen Garden), co-starring lots of fascinating poultry experts and my fabulous flock of Buff Orpingtons. It's salutary experience seeing yourself on film for 70 minutes (interspersed with lots of fine looking hens of course) and not one I'd recommend. Might make a good Christmas present for the right person though.

We're getting ready for our Christmas shopping extravaganza, held as always during the first week in December. So if you happen to be passing....
