River Cottage: Spring

Series 11 Episode 3: Goats and Chickens

The first potatoes and radishes are ripe to be pulled out of the earth and broad beans de-podded for the most luxurious beans on toast going. The Bristol experiment continues as vegan Jess picks up a batch of hens from a nearby battery egg farm. Having lived practically their whole lives in cramped cages, are the hens capable of laying? Back at River Cottage, Hugh's invested in a new hatchery for his duck eggs.
