Cinnamon Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Here is a picture of the eggs I have collected from just half my flock this week - the half who have been dosed so we cannot eat these egs Isn't it amazing how they add up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I know what you mean, Sarah . We've had 5 or 6 eggs a day for the last few weeks. I now have 2 customers but when we get a couple more hens, I'll need to find some more or we'll be over run . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Wow i need more eggs, I seem to have lots of people with birthdays that I need to give them away to Also I dropped one this morning getting it out of the nest box Roll on Gertrude & Rosa, but with them being a SLW & a Cream Legbar I will not have eggs over winter with them.

Snowy Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Don't they look lovely all piled up like that? Are you going to scramble them and feed them back to them Sarah? Would be a shame to waste them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 I know a man who has some Christian, & they are lovely fat fluffy hens too I am scrambling them up for the hens to eat tomorrow I think - a little treat for them after all their hard work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I don't dare get anymore! Although it appears that Laverne has retired. No eggs for 6 weeks now She is still a little angel though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 That's a lot of eggs. What have they been dose with though Cinnamon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 They have been Eprinexed Liz, which is an anti mite treatment given in drops on the back of the neck. It is not liscenced for poultry in the UK, but a fair few vets prescribe it & some of us use it as a precautionary measure.It also may clear up worms & treat ALL mites like scaley leg & lice too Its used to treat humans for worms in Africa,but we withdraw the eggs for a week as a precaution.With 10 in lay its no hardship to dose half the flock & withdraw one week,then the other half the next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
