OK, I admit it, paranoia setting in, herons don't snatch hens, but this one landing in the backfield certainly spooked our Conny.
The result: We got 4 eggs yesterday! (of only 3 hens)!! You'd think the scare would have put them off laying, but no, gone into overdrive instead. Can't eat them fast enough.......... How many eggs should you really be eating in a week anyway?

Depends who you ask?! My son (7) reckons you can't have too many.

LINK

Check out the above link but basically aslong as you are eating a healthy well balanced diet there isn't really any need to restrict the amount of eggs you eat. I love them and have always eaten masses and I dont have a problem with cholestrol.

Thanks for that link jammy, info was really useful. Can now carry on enjoying them without having to worry. Great
