Happy Hens mean Heaps of Eggs!

Our happy band of layers have been working overtime. In 4 months, our little flock of five have laid a total of 452 eggs!! At this time of year, they're tucking in with relish to all the fallen apples and pears which they absolutely love.

As the nights draw in, temperatures begin to drop and the hours of daylight shorten, so egg numbers will reduce accordingly. However, in the 4 months, excess egg sales made £44.00 another small PTC record. This pays for their layers' pellets and mash

But for today's brunch on a dark and damp September Sunday, it was scrambled eggs on toast, home grown Aga baked tomatoes with a parsley garnish. Lucky us!
