Chicken Boy: Arthur Parkinson’s Life with Hens - Episode 114

The utterly wonderful, incomparable Arthur Parkinson has been away writing his new book, so it's a delight to have him return to the podcast to tell us all about it!

The original ‘co-conspirator’ of ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ joins Sarah once more to detail the heartfelt inspiration behind Chicken Boy, how he found the inspiration to form a bond with hens, the dangers to look out for if you’re starting out yourself, and so much more.

In this episode, discover:

• How Arthur’s natural affinity for hens began and grew • The strong connection to Chatsworth, Deborah Devonshire and their poultry fancying • Guiding our thinking around designing plants and gardens with animals in mind • What to consider around the villains and vermin to keep your hens safe • The sometimes-harsh reality of hen keeping
