Chicken Hotel, where owners leave their chickens when they go on holiday, Helston, Cornwall, Britain - 16 Mar 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Barry Gomer / Rex Features ( 1298795l )
Fowlty Towers
An unusual hotel is hoping to soothe the ruffled feathers of chicken lovers by providing home away from home comforts for their beloved birds.
The Chicken Hotel was set up by owner David Roberts on his farm in Helston, Cornwall.
The establishment offers a five-star service for picky poultry while their owners are away on holiday.
Dave, 31, came up with the eggs-tradordinary idea in response to the growing popularity for people to rear their own hens.
At first the apparently zany concept had some people calling fowl - thinking it was all a joke.
However, Dave, who is helped by Ariel Roukaerts, 31, now runs a thriving business offering accommodation for chickens and bantams.
During the day the feathered 'guests' range freely in the fox-proof grounds before being rounded and put to bed in their luxury coops at night.
A former cabinet-maker, David Roberts built the plush accommodation himself.
Rates start at GBP 2 per coop per night plus 75p per chicken, which includes the cost of feed.
Dave transports the birds to and from their homes if the owners require it, and even offers a nursery for chicks and an incubation service for eggs that need hatching.
According to Dave the idea has proven to be so popular that the Chicken Hotel has bookings for as far away as Christmas.

Polish Frizzle Chickens at Golden Valley Poultry Farm in Grayshott, Surrey, Britain - 02 Apr 2009
A BAD FEATHER DAY
They may not be the best layers around but what these Polish Frizzle Chickens lack in substance they make up for with style.
The bizarre trio are, rather appropriately, named Furball, Fizz and Fuzz and they belong to Suzie Baldwin of Golden Valley Poultry in Grayshott, Surrey.
Their bizarre appearance is all courtesy of the fact their feathers point outwards and forwards - forming a rather unique look.
According to Suzie they aren't great when it comes to laying eggs but their charming personalities more than make up for the fact.
However, don't mention rain to the trio as it is the one thing guaranteed to give them something to cluck about.
Like any discerning females, they're rather annoyed when wet weather causes their 'hairdo' to fly out on control - prompting a bad feather day.

Jumpers for chickens, Blisworth, Northampton, Britain - Jan 2009
Chicken rescuer Jane Percival knew just what to do to stop her chicks becoming too cool in a cold spell... home made jumpers.
Jane, 69, enlisted the help of the local Women's Institute members and their knitting skills to help protect the ex battery farm chickens, fearing they didn't have enough feathers to cope with sub zero temperatures
Jane, 69, from Blisworth, Northants, said: "We knew they wouldn't have enough feathers for the cold.
"So I searched the internet and found a pattern. The ladies from the local WI got knitting and now we have eight or nine jumpers."
Jane added: "It's made the chickens so happy that they even laid eggs."
