Our chooks have . . . . .

. . . . . . . earned their fist pennies from selling their eggs

When we had surplus (not happening these days!), I used to give them away to friends, family and neighbours . . .  but did accept 'pocket money' for the girls!

I had a deal with a friend who was also a bloomin' good hairdresser. I kept her in eggs, she did my hair. Cuts, perms, the lot. All was OK till I lost my hens to the fox and the dog, so I started to cook for her instead. Now, my new girls are doing so well, I should be able to start offering eggs as well as my fruit breads and meat pies. Im sure Ive got the better bargain, as my hair grows very quickly!
