> ADOPT A HEN
> Some customers have come into the shop and asked what this bascially
> entails, and arguing that it shouldn't just be for children!  It basically
> costs £5.  For this you will be able to collect and take home half a dozen
> eggs twice a year - the rest of the money will help towards the costs of
> keeping the hens especially when they are going through the moult and are
> not laying - It is at this time most commercial units "exchange" their 
> hens
> for young pullets - we just seem to keep adding!
>
> FARMING NEWS
> The ewes here at Ellenden are looking like they are getting close to
> lambing - David is still planning to have a "lambing Day" where you can
> come and visit, and hopefully see some lambs being born.  Other than that
> it is very quiet on the farming front - I can tell David is having
> withdrawel symptoms from sitting on a tractor!
>
> Have a good week, thankyou again for all your orders to date.
>
> Kind regards
