I
couldn't let this blog go by without a reference to the hennies!
They are the sweetest and strangest creatures I've ever had under my
wings!
Blondie
continued to lay eggs without shells for a while, and then stopped. I
struggled within myself as to what to decide to think about her! My
decision is that ok, she's a dud layer – but she has the right to
live, just as any creature does – so now I look upon her as a pet!
Milly
or Molly – (I can't tell the difference between them) must think
she is a duck. She has begun laying eggs which appear to all intents
and purposes, duck eggs! It mustn't be easy, as at a certain time
most mornings, she disappears into the dark, hay floored coop, and
the most agonised screeches come forth – until 30 minutes later she
calmly walks out, and waits for the door to be opened to spend the
day pecking around the garden!
The
other Molly or Milly, lays ordinary eggs. No such loud fuss, but an
ordinary size 7.
In
the photo below, you see the ordinary size 7 next to one of the
'duck' eggs which are being produced these days!

They
had a boys night last Saturday – Reuban and Cam, Digby and Guy.
Gorgeous boys! (Not that they would like me to describe them that
way!! But it's my blog, so I'm going to!)

Hey you,
I got such a giggle out of reading about the hens. Made me miss your stories in person :(
Josh says you need to get blondie some shell grit. He thinks she doesn't have enough calcium in her diet. He had chickens once upon a time.
Love you,
Kristal and Josh xx
Thanks Kristal!!
The strange thing is, Blondie never laid a thing, then Brock said get oyster shell grit, so we did and then we got the eggs without shells.... and now nothing again!!!
Seriously, if he has any more ideas, I'd be grateful... xx
Love C
I'm loving the hen updates too:-)Not that I know anything about them. I love the idea of home grown eggs:-)Mx
