A full Hen House
The best feature of this blog layout is perhaps the ability to write about things outside of T-shirt printing without it confusing people when they arrive, all the t-shirt relevant articles stay in the top half of the page, allowing us to insert the odd event in the life of the Advertees hens, quite possibly of no interest to anyone but our good selves.
The hens have doubled in number this year which is great, but I don’t think we will allow any of them to sit on eggs next year as we now have a full house (A house which I keep being told needs a new roof). The things I have learnt in this first 8 months of keeping chickens are many, and one I only noticed today was that the hens that sat on the eggs for 21 days and reared the chicks, seem to have shed their old feathers and replaced them with new, a malting chicken is big news to me.
I am also completely sold on the idea that birds are only slightly modified dinosaurs, and this makes watching their behaviour all the more interesting, they are very intelligent creatures with very individual behaviours/characteristics (personalities is what I really want to say) was this true of the dinosaurs too? Apologies to all scientists for any misinformation I pass on to the one or two readers which may stumble upon this blog article, this is my history of the world, created from partly digested information, taken from various, and dubious sources, then carefully reassembled discarding anything that does not appeal to me. So there it is, a very good reason to keep this blog focused on t shirt printing, and keep these ramblings tucked away out of sight with my lovely new layout, courtesy of Michael Jubel.
