Not chicken related...well...apart from using the chicken poo compost to grown them! Look at my spuds!! Nearly 11kg! I know quite a lot of you guys are veggie growers like me, so thought I'd show you my harvest this year! Chicken manure REALLY makes a huge difference!! Jacket potato anyone?! 🥔 💩🐔💩🥔

Only 'The Mother Hen' would grow a chicken foot carrot!! 😍🐔🥕🐔😍

As the autumn is speeding in, it definitely feels like the summer is behind us 😔...but what a summer it was for The Mother Hen 😍🐔😍 My absolute busiest summer yet!! So, I would just like to thank all my customers 🥰🥰 I really do love what I do and I'm so grateful that I get to do it for you.
