BeckyBoo Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 9 eggs!!! Three from the ex-batts although one was broken in the nest (yes two are making the trip upstairs to use the nest to lay ) five from our big hens and one from the silkie! AND there's still a possibility that Matilda will lay and Duck is in the nest as well!!! Blimey, eggs for breakfast lunch and dinner!! !egg! !egg! !egg! !egg!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Wow, that's some clutch (is that the collective noun for eggs ). That's what I get in a whole week . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 It's never happened before, we had 8 once, before that our record was 7, normally its sort of 3-5 or maybe 6, which for 15 hens is alright ish With this many eggs I could make something from my Mrs Beeton book, she always uses hundreds of eggs and full cream and butter! In fact I'll take some in to work, gradually converting people in my office, got the inspector yesterday, will try the supervisor today.
