The warning came from Fluffets Farm owner, Ben Jackson, after a dramatic drop in the number of eggs ordered during the lockout period.

Ben added: “If we can’t find a home for eggs, the Home is where my chickens are chicken farmer turkey Shirt worst-case scenario is we might have to find a way to get rid of some of our chickens, but that’s what we’re trying to avoid.

“We just wanted to get past this dark time – we only made use of it one day.”
