There are thirteen ex-free range hens now living where the meat chickens use to be. All of our other hens are starting to ‘get on’ a bit and so we need some new egg layers. And they are already laying eggs, one yesterday and five today.
Our first egg from them
I like the number thirteen, ‘a bakers dozen’, it reminds me of icing and current-buns.

Isn’t it a great feeling to see those eggs? Every morning I’m out there peering in the coop excited to see if one of the girls has laid my breakfast.
