The first egg is like Christmas, Easter and birthdays all rolled into one isn´t it?

now the question... boiled, poached or fried?

We had a "longer than necessary" discussion with our first egg - in the end, it was fried and then we cut it into 3

Best tasting egg - ever!!!

Hi I can't believe how exciting it is finding eggs! We have had our Ex Batts 1 day and they laid 14 eggs! we werent expecting to get any for a while thinking they would need time to adjust to new home etc. all different sizes and colours one was lovely and speckly!

Does anyone know if Ex Batts are a particular breed?

usually warrens (isa browns)

are they the reddy brown looking proper chooks

Yes they are mostly reddy brown some paler than others almost blondish really but as some have quite a few feathers missing i presume they will get darker as they get healthier
