Dead chuffed!

Post: # 178756Post Millymollymandy »

I'm so happy - I got 2 pol hens in the summer and the red hybrid who I imagined would keep laying through her first winter promptly went off lay in mid September :roll: , though the other one (a bluebell) kept laying her little socks off until about 5 days ago then just stopped. So I thought that was it until about March. :(

So imagine how pleased I was yesterday when both the red one AND the bluebell both laid!!! I haven't heard of hens coming back into lay in the middle of winter before! :shock: :iconbiggrin: And I knew there was something up with the red one as she was all pesky and really talkative beforehand. :lol:

Hi MMM

must be global warmiing :lol:


our hilines went of the lay last week only one egg from all 9 a day then all of sudden their back at it again and our rooster basket (OH collects metal roosters) was so full we had to start putting them in egg cartons. go figure
Our remote ancestors said to their mother Earth, "We are yours."
Modern humanity has said to Nature, "You are mine."
The Green Man has returned as the living face of the whole earth so that through his mouth we may say to the universe, "We are one."

Just an observation - isn't it great how next-door neighbours can now be in France, New Zealand and the USA?

Ignore me - I'm just an old softie.
