Henry,
Check out the Eglu!

Talking about the chickens has brought back so many fond memories! All 6 of my girls had names and would you believe one was named Henrietta, LOL. They were Buff Orpingtons, very sweet disposition. It was so funny to watch them pecking in the garden. If one found a bug or scratched up a worm, they'd all come running. Chicken fight! Well, squabble really. My Corgi dog would herd them into their coop each evening, and believe me she could count. Now I am longing for hens again. The Eglu might just do the trick.
