The chateau was small by chateau standards but it had the biggest dovecote around.Pidgeons were eaten and the droppings collected for superphosphate. Apparently farmers were only allowed one pair of pidgeons (how do you stop your pidgeons breeding...eat them fast I suppose). The guy who built the dovecote had thousands.
