That must be brilliant, I expect you have lots of different size eggs? I only own 2 rangers and one lays smallish eggs, the other huge ones.

Thanks Richard yes that is what I meant, I just wondered as a couple of years ago I downloaded siamese cat sounds, there were loads, they all meant something different.angry,scared happy etc. Thanks Meanqueen for photo info. I will give it a try and sorry about the apostrophes, I'll do this next tim...

What lucky girls, it looks fantastic!

What lovely photos! You could make some lovely Easter cards with them? You certainly have your hands full

Sorry Teasal just remembered who you are! You left them on your wall in bad weather didn^t you. Yes I can see you would need help with all those hungry little mouths. Do you have all the same breed?

I^m losing the will to live trying to understand what is going on in Damages so I^ve hopped on for a chat. I cannot find anything that describes what chickens are saying,I don^t mean in the Dr. Doollittle way. What are they saying when they wail? Probably where is the food, don^t go in there it^s my...

Do you sell them? If not maybe you better get Delia^s egg book?

You are absolutely right Chickenchaser of course I am, and so are my family and friends. I do get to eat them when my friend bakes one of her delicious cakes

Like Kate Egg I got my girls in September, Alice laid within a week with tiny eggs that got bigger, Abby didn^t start until December and her eggs were huge. Their combs should be fullyformed I believe?Spookily Kate I have just made up a batch of weetabix with hot water and sweetcorn(no time in the m...

condolences to you Greta, it will be tough for awhile with her not being there but what a lovely way to go bless her.

They are fascinated with my wellies too Pearl^n^Ruby, I got a pair of kiddies wellies covered them in mud and sand and they totally ignored them! They also hate carrots, not keen on potatoes but I must be using the right shampoo cause Abby got another couple of strands today. Her diet must be doing ...

I saw an advert for this food in a magazine called Practical Poultry, spied it on the shelf in Sainsburys and forked out £3 odd as I was curious. I thought it was rather odd having special food if mash and pellets have all a chicken needs? Got an email from River Cottage today with a lovely link to...

Sorry don^t think I^ve read about Nancy before, but have you tried lifting her off getting the eggs then putting her back? Nextdoor^s Dolly went broody for over a month and this worked a treat, mind you maybe Nancy isn^t as docile as Dolly?

What a brave little soul she is, bet she^s thinking what is this white stuff?

Taking a hard earned rest from doing an all over clean and a red dust mite overhauling in the girl^s home I sat on one of their logs as Alice just loves to get on my lap. Abby is never keen but today she leapt up too and the pair of them were slipping and sliding jostling for position. Abby then pro...
