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 , 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! And I knew there was something up with the red one as she was all pesky and really talkative beforehand.

Hi MMM

must be global warmiing


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

i bet those eggs taste great. i have to buy mine, and if i want organic ones they cost me $4.25 a dozen.

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.
