Egg-static!

We have not had any eggs from our 2 girls since way back in October 2006. But this morning, I woke to the sound of a laying hen. I pitched in with my chicken ear and instantly knew what would await me when I went down to feed them.

There they were, 4 little perfectly formed eggs. I felt so proud. They have been through a lot this year, they lost 2 of their friends to a Stoat, and yet they have come up with the goods in minus 4 temperatures. No wonder there was so much noise during the laying process, they must have got mighty chilly down there.

Well done Gladys and Hilary!
