Bush eggs: four. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: full.
Four eggs again today. The girls are really doing well for this time of the year; it must be a touch of competitiveness. Not me though, I don’t feel the competitive urge. I used to when I was younger, though Valerie, the Araucana hen, often stole my thunder by laying one of those gimmicky blue eggs of hers. She wasn’t a very inspiring chicken, not much on top and no oil painting (unlike some I could mention), but every flipping time she pushed out one of those blue eggs she thought she was the pinnacle of poultry perfection. Personally I thought they looked rather unhealthy compared with my taupe ones.
