I live slap in the middle of a huge city, however, we have a chicken and a duck. The chicken, Goldie, is a fine layer, providing about 3 eggs every 24 hours for all our boiling, frying and scrambling needs. Her best friend is Gary, a male duck, and therefore a non-layer. In fact, he is not useful at all, apart from the fact that he adores Goldie and therefore keeps her a happy and productive layer. Here they are doing a spot of pecking and scratching in the mud, which is probably their favourite thing to do except for nibbling fingers…
