Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: three-quarters full.
Actually, if memory serves me right Ginger was the only one of the three hybrid layers that successfully had a couple of chicks. Taffy was too stubborn and wanted to do it her way, and Marigold was too interested in other things (like car boots as I have mentioned), but Ginger got it right. Right up until both chicks died within days of being born, that is, and that was her only attempt at a family. Those hybrid layers just don’t have what it takes to be a mother.
