So we were up at the crack of dawn, packed and ready to leave at 9am - talk about eager beavers!!! We found it very easily a normal semi detached house with a note on the door saying 'very busy today so come down the garden'. so off we went down the garden, and down, and down and down.... massive man, Ben says he's not sure how big but 7 or 800 feet long!!! Man it was amazing, dotted all the way along were various chickens in wooden houses all looking very happy...
Ours were in a big pen with many others who all looked the same, Ben though knew exactly who was who thankfully..... We put our boxes together and some shredded paper in the bottom and we were ready!!!
So how do you catch a chicken???? Well the brave Ben goes in with a HUGE fishing/butterfly net and charges about trying to net them!! funny thing was we had joked about how they would do it, and never thought it would be true!!! So out he came with either one or 2 chickens and straight into the boxes, he did tell us who was what though which was very helpful, then the lids were on and straight into the car! Aircon on and away we go..... only to realise 200m down the road we had forgotten to get him to clip their wings!!!!!! No returning for that though, we will have to cross that bridge when we come to it, hopefully the man round the corner will help us out with that one.......
The journey went very well, about 90minutes with no clucking in the background, then we unloaded them straight away!
