Six eggs today

Recommended Posts

I had 5 today. My younger girls now nearly 2 years old have laid all through their second winter. they seem to have moulted and regrown some feathers but have carried on laying. My original hens stopped in their second winter and looked very handsome by the spring because they had fully regrown their feathers and had grown larger too. I had a white star that didn't stop for 18 months then sadly she had a prolapse and died. I am glad of the eggs but wish the girls would take a break for their own sake, although they seem happy enough.

 

My 2 older ladies are now 4 years old and I have had no eggs from them since October.

:mrgreen: - the two old girls shut up shop in about October, but the Bluebelle and Copper Maran went on till Christmas Day, when they stopped. Now the Bluebelle is moulting. The Maran started again about ten days ago, and I've been getting one every other day or sometimes every day - wouldn't mind, but I am seeing someone (a client) on Tuesday who has been promised eggs for ages; it's always the wrong time, or I am not expecting to see him, and it's now a running joke that I don't really have chickens, so I really want to have six to present to him!
