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
