YAY - new chickens are laying

[Shirley]

today we had our first eggs from the buff sussex - yippee!!

Won't be long before we have 6 eggs a day - when that happens we might start selling them in our recycled milk bottle baskets.

The goose is one of the embdens that we had when we lived in Herefordshire.

Will sort out pic - have to have a practice at putting a pic on here first!!

She looks beautiful... Almost like a swan!

Shirlz, I've got a pile of egg cartons, more than my compost heap can cope with - are you interested?

Ina

[Tigerhair]

Shirlz, I agree - she is very beautiful. We have swans on the river at the moment... my second fave after the majestic heron...

Thanks Ina - I miss them actually. One day we'll have them again though.

YES, would love the egg cartons thank you.

We should arrange to meet again soon.

Need to fix my exhaust first - it's starting to sound like a stag on heat... Don't dare to go further than the village at the moment!

[Shirley]

A pic of the egg basket - works better with bit of old newspaper crumpled under the eggs - I sometimes leave the lid attached as it makes it easier to do the cutting....

Obviously can be used for more than just eggs.....

[Tigerhair]

Cool basket... Are the eggs yummy?
