They're laying again! or not as the case may be!!

Bluey started just before Christmas, Sprout last week and Sooty today.
I have been giving them extra protein (dog food) as Sooty was using Roberta as a source of protein (plucking and eating the feathers)
Only problem is I can't remember where the empty egg boxes are. 

I'm down to 9 hens now and an ancient cockerel. 3 haven't laid for several years, one's coming to the end of her laying days, and I'm sure the others are taking it in turns to lay as I'm only getting 1 egg a day

Been lucky this year, no eggs to buy and having boarders who adittedly laid few, have managed to keep my neighbour supplied too. Got our first white Shumen egg yesterday for months.

But I have at least three habgers on.

Hopefully mine will remember what their job is soon!

Although I only have pekins now, so I guess they are going to wait a little bit longer!

  to everyone who has chickens that are laying eggs!

Roberta, the pekin, has looked at the nest box, but hoping to to put some more fertile eggs under her and her "daughter", a maran, has yet to start. Very surprised that 2 had started, but the plus side is that the local shop sells local eggs which have a 3 and a 1/2 week shelf life.

Chocky's comb has shot up - pointy and red and they seem raveous so having to raid the meadow for grass for them (they ate the lawn last year)...

Eggs soon then maybe...

Brian collected 2 eggs today.  I didn't think our old girls would lay any more either Joy!
