canada isn’t the only place you
can rent a chicken.
After reading our recent article
(PD 23 Jul) Gareth Davidson,
Sanofi Pasteur senior product
manager travel & endemic vaccines
advised there’s a service based in
Sydney called Rentachook which
offers a similar service.
For $100 plus a $330 deposit
rentachook.com.au will provide a
coop, two hens, food and plenty
of advice for a six week trial - so if
you don’t get on with the chooks
you can just give them back.
Although Australian egg prices
haven’t soared the way they
have in America, Davidson
highly recommended the option,
particularly once the chooks start
laying and earning their keep.
Pharmacists keen to do some
compounding at home should
consider purchasing a house
which has just gone up for sale in
the US city of Albuquerque, New
Mexico.
The property was made famous
as the residence of drug-dealing
methamphetamine manufacturer
Jesse Pinkman in the popular TV
series Breaking Bad.
The real estate agents involved
are making the most of the link to
the show, with a special website
at www.breakingbadhouse.com
inviting prospective purchasers
to “live like Jesse” before adding:
“meth lab not included”.
They are hoping to capitalise
on the demand for memorabilia
from the show which depicts
the decline into depravity of a
simple chemistry teacher, Walter
White, who turns to drug making
to support his family when he is
diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Walter White’s underwear -
from the first series of the show -
was auctioned some years ago for
almost $10,000.
