Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic. If you fail to see what you are looking for, please give us a call on 0844 884 331 we are happy to help, if we can.

Sometimes work takes me on an adventure, it certainly did today.
One courier service ‘extra’ that we offer is a ‘drive by and check’ service.

You may have ordered something online from an Essex business and for one reason or another, the communication has stopped and you would just like to know what is happening. Sometimes it can be to deliver important legal documents or contracts and it’s essential that these are hand delivered. We tailor our services to our customers needs. ‘Drive by and check’ has a variety of uses.

A customer of ours rang and said would we drive by a local business as they were worried an order they had placed wouldn’t be fulfilled, the phone wasn’t being answered and emails were bouncing back. We said of course and jumped in the van and went to have a look.

I went to the premises, well as far as I could go because blocking the road were several colourful chicks! There were lots of them – red, green, beige- all colours, they were really strutting their stuff and not letting me drive into the premises.

A feisty chick!

The chickens were blocking our way, and they had no intention of moving! So the owner of them came over for a chat, and established that yes the business was still trading and no, the recent power cuts hadn’t affected the phone lines.

Chickens

The gentleman we spoke to couldn’t have been more helpful and passed along a message to call our client, and the retailer in question did so promptly. We don’t know why the communication broke down, but it’s back on track and everyone is happy.

Except me. I want some of those colorful chicks and a triangle chicken run and a rooster…. How do I convince Sarah?

Regards

That shouldn’t be too hard, simply show her some information about commercially raised chickens and then show her a couple of websites about backyard poultry. My favorite is http://www.uBuilderPlans.com. They have LOTS of chicken info for newbies and a great building plan for a low cost backyard coop.

It would be far better for all of us if we had more people raising their own backyard birds. Maybe this would even give those commercial guys some NEW ideas!

Good luck in your quest for hens!
