What comes first, the chicken or the egg? Well actually, it's the farmers, and in this entertaining programme we meet the farmers who keep us in chicken. Carol Downard is a stay-at-home mum with one husband, four children and more than 50,000 chickens to look after. Breeding farmer Kevin Scullion reveals the chicken's little-known dark side. And we find out how a nifty gadget called the 'crackless egg' can save up to a million pounds a week. Show less
