Lost a hen.

[Steve]

Sensible precautions Mort, might I add a few ? First, blindfold the hens and spin them around a few times as they leave for their new home, this will prevent them from logging directions back to your place. Secondly, keep them in the dark for a few days beforehand, they will soon lose track of time and be unable to estimate how far they have travelled.

Never, ever, let your chickens see your preps. They are notoriously loose-lipped and will blab to everybody they meet. It's a fact that UK security agencies routinely interrogate chickens, and they have developed questions that will trick the unwise bird into giving away your details.

The best way to protect your security has been featured in many spy movies, eat the evidence.....
