Clare Beebe sets out the next level of chicken keeping after taking on a couple of garden hens as she covers the subject of incubation and the latest equipment available which pretty much removes the uncertainties of bygone eras, with fully automatic options for those of us who aren’t around all day to turn eggs by hand. Janice Houghton-Wallace caters for the competitive and proud chicken keeper as she covers the show circuit and Dot Tyne turns her attention to keeping sheep in the first of a new three part series in the Viable Self-Sufficiency series. And our ongoing series on bee-keeping looks forward to the new season as Claire Waring checks out and revitalises the essential bee-keeping equipment for the forthcoming season.
