Smuggle them in and say they seem to have stumbled acros your extremely suitable garden and have taken fancy to the chicken feed you mysteriously have lying around. Or show her some newly hatched chicks, they might change her mind.
Hmmmm. Maybe, just maybe.
Maybe Katyjay would like an egglu and some hens to go to the east mids as a birthday pressie, at the same time some could be delivered to Cambridgeshire.
Hens can be very affectionate. When we went to France a couple of years ago a beautiful Hen that belonged to the people we were hiring the gite off befriended me. She would sit on my lap and roost on our doorstep. She had beautiful feathers, she would follow behind me when I hung the washing out too.
Tell her that chicken fed is normally converted into eggs. Eggs are needed to bake cake...
