    What can I do to make my chickens quiet?

    Here, it's not "I'm laying an egg". I t's "I wanna lay in that nest and it's OCCUPIED! No one else is allowed to lay ANYWHERE until I get MY nest!" "Fine! I'm getting help! Mr Rooster, make her leave me alone" "Yes, miss....oh-oh. You ladies work this out yourself. I'm outta here!" (I've...

    Ok. Freekeh I'm unlikely to be able to find. I've had the giant zucchini/courgette before. Flavor definitely changes a bit. Good to know at least 1 dish it can be used successfully in, and a way to find more specifically for the runaway garden produce.
