Martin B Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Didn't think so, you'd need quite a few eglus, rablus, guinilus, ducklus! I love the van, when I think of you, Rosie, Phil and Rosies Dad, this bif green van just pops up! It's so cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Mel - I think we need to consider buying an island somewhere? what a jolly splendid idea Green Island (just off Poole and near Brownsea Island) was for sale recently. I think it went for £4million - do you think the new owners would accept an offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I got my ceramic egg tray in Matalan today - £4, and it holds 12 (the Heals and Omlet one hold 9) Coincidentally, my chickens, who have been faithfully laying 4 or 5 eggs a day have laid 2 today - sod's law!

The Dogmother Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Don't worry Fee - we only collected 5 eggs yesterday - that's FIVE i've given all the girls a good talking to That's not good Lesley - I am relying on you for eggs at the moment! Sadie (my only layer at the moment) has stopped and is having a mini-moult by the looks of the eglu. I had an egg yesterday, which might be from Lily - it looks like a mini version of one of hers, so that's two eggs in 10 days from 7 hens Temperamental pure breeds!

The Dogmother Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 They've all been moulting on and off, Fleur was never a regular layer anyway and she's had a bit of a blue comb lately, so I think she may have a dicky ticker. Lucille just looks at me and says 'what eggs?' she'd never do anything so common as grace me with any eggs, which is a pity because when she has laid, they are the most beautiful, perfect tiny white eggs. *sniff* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 My two are moulting big time I haven't had an egg for 2 weeks I have 4 left but my dad is coming to stay weekend after next he will insist they are for the pot if there are no takeaway eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Better keep him away from the chooks then Louise. I think that the little darker egg the other day might have been from Lily after her moult - she was the firs to start moulting and looks well feathered now. It was the same colour as hers usually are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 My 3 are OK, no moulting and producing eggs. What is this correlation between egg number and the pot some men have? I'll have to start sending you eggs, they lay brown eggs right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
