1000 Chicken Coops Sold Every Week In The UK
1000 Chicken Coops Sold Every Week In The UK was printed in the Mail on Sunday on 31/08/08. Did anyone else read this chicken keeping article? The article is here if you missed it.
The chicken keeping article spreads over two pages in the Mail on Sunday and states that thousands of city dwellers are rearing chickens at home - thanks to celebrity chefs who have highlighted the plight of battery farmed hens and championed home grown food.
The article then goes on to compare people keeping chickens in their gardens to the 70’s sitcom ‘The Good Life’!
The article is a fantastic read and mentions the recent Axminster Chicken Saga that I spoke of a few days ago.
The article mentions that the next issue of Country Smallholding magazine is publishing a seven page guide in it’s next issue.
I don’t know whether our 100 foot by 40 foot back garden allows us to class ourselves as ’smallholders’, but it definitely sounds worth getting hold of the next issue to have a read.
