The chickens have always been a valuable source of protein in the Beaker community, especially when road kill is out of season. The chickens would have pretty good lives. The grass was grazed. And the eggs and meat were free range and high quality.
But some people said the chickens weren't expanding. Said the hens were getting less productive with age. Said they wanted an exciting new project. A mixed ecology.
So we put some foxes in.
OK, the chickens started disappearing. But apparently that was going to happen anyway. And the foxes were having a high old time.
Obviously, foxes don't taste very good. And they don't lay eggs. But they were looking so healthy.
Until the last two chickens went.
They had considered their calling to be ducks, but found the whole swimming thing a bit inefficient.
Still, the grass is long. And we can get eggs at Tesco.
And it was a dynamic initiative. So that's the main thing.
