Thousands of city dwellers are rearing chickens at home - thanks to celebrity chefs who have highlighted the plight of battery-farmed hens and championed locally grown food.

In an echo of the popular Seventies sitcom The Good Life, urban families across Britain are turning over their back gardens to hen coops.

Sales have rocketed since Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s campaigning TV series were broadcast last year.

My mum always used to keep chickens at the end of her garden so its nothing new I think its the rats and mice it would attract that puts me off.

Hi Val we too had hens,but I dont remember any mice,we did live in the country though so they were no big deal to us,now rats are a different story arent they !
Around here CATS rule there seems to be hundreds of them lol
Agh but there is nothing like a fresh freerange egg is there ?

If you have grain around it attracts all rodents, even the squirrels, I hate them all.

Like people??  All animals have the right to Live!!
More and more Animals are being 'Dumped' by ignorant people. That in itself is a Crime and don't forget?? Animals cannot tell You they are in Pain!!  only some people are really Evil!! but do not pay the penalty for their crime?????

Rats, Grey squirrels Feral pigeons, have no useful purpose on this earth. Bacteria are also living things, but we are glad to kill them if infected by them.

Come to think about it!!   Neither are some people, more so those that are responcible for killing othere's!!!!!
Would you like to kill the Birds as well ?????
Man, has been killing wild creatures for decades -- ever since D.D.T.????????????????????????????
