The Good Life = 34 eggs


I'm amazed - we've had the ex-batts for only 3 weeks, and they have already hit over 30 eggs. They are definitely getting better in taste, and yolks are getting a bit oranger - but they are still not eating all the treats. They quite liked the greens yesterday - but corn and banana they just look at me quizically as in "why on earth have you fed us this"? Oh - and yesterday was our first 3 egg day - heres to many more!




As you can see from the photo - they are getting a bit more cheeky. The bucket was full of growers mash - and they just couldn't wait!



We've also been shopping today - and come home with, a Coral (white egg layer) - who we've called Blanche:



A Columbian - who will lay blue eggs



A Maran Cuvee - who will lay dark brown eggs


A Silvernick - who will lay normal brown eggs, but is very friendly.


They are all out in the run now sorting out the pecking order - and I can here Sylvie yelling as I write this - she gets herself all wound up poor little girl.
I can;t add any more photos now - no idea why - sow ill try again in later.
