Just a short video and a little picture as an update for the chookies. The chickens really love eating their own egg shells and now we are getting a good supply of eggs (3 or 4 every day!!) I can keep them in good supply. Also a little picture (taken through glass cos the window was closed). It has been so windy down here in Kent all the chooks know where and how to keep warm:  |

Waste not want not. Once the egg has been laid and the useful bit to us has been taken out, why not recycle the shell. Love the vid and the picture.

Always nice to get a fluffy-bum update, Shirls. Who is closest to the camera getting the majority of the shells?

That was Lola Hezz, she is very greedy for everything and it was Bea at the back.  |

It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for ..... Lola. Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand Why she walk like a woman and talk like a man .......... That song has invaded the forum again.  We will have to pay royalties at this rate. |

They don't seem to be phazed by the rain really samwiseg. They go in the run when they want to and come out and have a peck around when the rain lessens. They do get oh so wet, but they don't seem to mind. They are still laying which is absolutely brilliant! Pheoebes is a 'secret' layer I think. I never seem to catch her going into the nest box, not until today anyway! Her eggs are just coming up to weight, it was 56g today. Thanks for asking. |
