I never thought about how much its costs to produce a chicken before & when you consider £1 for buying the chick, then its food plus caring for it etc it is scary to think how it arrives at Tesco for "buy two for a fiver"

I think my dogs would probably give the chickens a run for their money too h34r: We are lucky as we have a large garden by todays standards anyway 150ft x 30ft, the 50ft or so outside the backdoor is slabbed & they dogs are confined to that area by a fence & gate, we have a few bantams & some ex-battery hens arrive here on a reg basis to recover & feather up before we rehome them, they have the run of the rest of the garden.
