  I look after the neighbours' hens from time to time, and they are gorgeous. They're so friendly, curious, and full of character, and each one has a different personality. They'll even perch on your arms - and of course it's almost impossible to dig the soil when they're about as they're right under thefork, scratching for whatever might come up. They're fascinating pets, with the bonus of eggs.
  
  They do take a fair amount of work, and of course cost money to keep. You can end up with more eggs than you need (but friends are always appreciative!), and there are various ailments and pests they can get. But I find friendly hens a delight, and it's a real pleasure to see them wandering around the garden.
