Why 2000 Carrots?

Why 2000 Carrots?
Carrot seeds often come in packs of 2,000.
Quote from the Missus "Two thousand carrots - what am I going to do with that lot? - Well I suppose I could make cakes!"
Cakes rock!

To be or not to be? A clucky question

We are allowed to keep chickens on the plot and I am rather keen.  Although I am happy just to keep them for a hobby the economics seem to work out and they should pay for themselves.  We are allowed to keep a maximum of four and have more than ample space.  Mrs 2K is on board with the proviso that I devise some sort of auto-door opener for the wintery mornings to save a dawn trip or two.

No, before you ask – we don’t need a cockerel.

Our neighbours chicken run with 
noisy but temporary guest


Matthew posted a quick poll on Facebook for suggestions for names and got a staggering amount of replies.  Many were names like Big Mac, Goujon, and Bargain Bucket with Colonel Sanders, Nugget and Crispy featuring heavily but the majority were names you could not shout out loud within earshot of decent allotment holders!  The fact that they would all be females seemed to be totally missed by the teenage respondents as most contained highly aspirational forms of the name cock. 

Names aside, chickens or not?  Comments please
