Bush eggs: none. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: half full.
Today is Good Egg Friday – the start of a three-day festival that the people invented to celebrate eggs (and egg-laying and chickens). They paint eggs, roll eggs, find hidden eggs and then EAT them! They also almost make themselves sick by eating chocolate eggs (don’t they know that chocolate is poisonous? It says so clear as day in the Handy Hints for Hens book that every household should have.) Apart from the eating eggs bit, it’s a lovely festival.
The hens and I tried to push out a few of our own eggs for them to find but we are all kind of egged out at the moment – even Steve, who can usually be counted on.
