I'd forgotten how much fun it is....

Post by Freeranger »

....working out where the little dears are laying |this| week!

We're chicken sitting while chief Hen & cockerel are somewhere warm & sunny. They said the girls were laying well, but not anywhere I was looking. Yesterday found 8 in a new place, unfortunately very stinky even on the outside and all failed the float test. Today we had to have our eggs & bacon without the eggs!

Having hunted round sopping wet undergrowth and wrapping trailing nettles around my arms and ankles, I found the new spot. 13 eggs today, all fine and fresh.

At least when I have to buy them I know which shelf they're on!

They've changed to a new place, so I haven't found any more since then. Definitely detention.
