Donald the Hen

August 23, 2007

We’ve been thinking of keeping a couple of hens for a while now - nothing beats the taste of your own free range eggs - and today we decided to put things in motion. In a village called “Struan”, which is about a 15 minute drive from our house, there lives a guy who sells hens. His name is Donald MacDonald.

We weren’t exactly sure of the address, so once we arrived in Struan we asked at the local garage. A friendly man told that Mr. MacDonalds house was just across the road, up the hill. He also told us that Mr. MacDonald - due to his business - is locally known as “Donald the Hen”…

Well Donald was not in, but we spoke with his friendly wife. She told us there was a quite a demand for hens and the next batch would be available by mid or end October. We decided to order 6 hens: three black ones and three brown ones. So, now it’s waiting for the hens to arrive. In the mean time, I can work on a hen hutch…
