Kick-starting out.

Enter Tom and tippychicks.com. Wandering around my favourite market (Dun Laoghaire in the Peoples Park every Sunday) I came across a new stand. Tom, a very enthusiastic chicken farmer (rumour has it that he sometimes moonlights as a stone-mason) and his wife have set up a small business that provides everything for the aspiring chicken wranger. He went though all the basics of day-to-day chicken care, how many eggs to expect and the types of breed they supply. Most importantly he gave me his mobile phone number (he may yet regret that). I put down my money and the date was set for chicken delivery.
