Up a while ago and let the chickens out. What a soggy morning!
We have five of them. A breed called Warrens that are apparently good layers and were originally bred as battery chickens. Thank God that practice has been forced to stop!
Three we bought on Easter Friday...Betty, Gladys and Noo. We had two eggs a day right from the start and then three once Noo strated laying. We added another two a week ago after Matt, a friend of Wendywoo's Joe (very confusing having two sons called Joe), and I extended the run. They're called Nugget and Paprika. Paprika is unusually light coloured and is a complete minx when it comes to chasing her round the garden to try and get her back in the run after a bit of garden 'free ranging'!
Still waiting for the last two to start laying though. Hurry up girls!
One of them lays really early so at least we have saved four eggs for Joe (mine this time) and Claire's breakfast.
