Palais des poules

A delightful New Zealander has been at work here today, in the late Summer sunshine. Arden Grant (for it is he) impressed us with his handling of our bee drama a couple of months ago, so Caroline asked him back to improve the quality of life for herself and her beloved chickens, called Bridget and, yes, Duck (so christened by Ida, aged 3). Query: as a result, are our delicious eggs now going to be the most expensive on record?
