Re: chickens

[Tony Nelson-Smith]

I found that there is a serious drawback to over-friendly chickens in the garden: digging a bed with a fork, thus revealing many juicy worms, I've several times almost slipped a disc by having to violently abort a thrust as a head and neck appeared in the target area. Of course, once the digging is done, letting the hens in compensates for the loss of worms by the simultaneous loss of most weed seedlings, runners of couch and convolvulus, etc. Tony N-S.
