A letter written by my Grandmother c.1904

Now, just in case, this is not suggested for Chickens. What it does highlight is the fact that Chickens in the Garden seem to go back quite some time. My Grandparents were, if you like, 'well to do', so I don't know if there hens were pets or more a necessity. Whatever, one thing which is nice is the fact I'm continuing a family tradition - although I didn't know that when I started to keep them.
