warm and bright i took pity on our six hens and let them out of the pen to be perfectly honest i dont know whether i let the hens loose ior their sakes or my own but i do know 1 felt a thrill ot satisfaction as i watched the hens scuttling around outside flying running singing an delighted were they to be free with ull outdoors to scratch around in michke white thought it was lots of fun too
