"As elected spokesperson for the National Union of Chickens (NUC), I must let it be known that our members have voted on composite 419 placed before conference and having passed said resolution am obliged to inform employers that upon the ambient temperature falling below ten celcius between the hours of 5pm and 8am, that all members shall receive not less than 800 extra calories in their rations during the proceeding 24hrs pecking period and that should the employer fail to provide such rations then sisters may lay to rule and ballot members for the consideration of an escalation to full scale industrial action."

I read this to spouse whose remark was quickly "did you say chicken soup?" However, I think it won't come to that end.

I think chicken soup is worth mentioning as well. My chickens have been munching the elderberries that drop into their run from the neighbour's tree so they're not short of extra nourishment at the moment. They also eat acorns if I strip the shells off them, but I seeon get bored of doing that.
