Guest Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I reckon it must be the battery hen thing. Poor loves no wonder they get worn out quicker. At least they get wonderful lives with you and the other rescuers now. I think that you do a brilliant job - so deserve the large eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) Good on yer Kaz! Sounds like your girls are happy as pigs in muck - hee hee. I give ours porridge before bedtime on a cold day to keep their inner central heating on full whack. We have super duper eggs too. Think we need a bigger box......
