My chickens come home to roost
Three new darlings have joined our family. I bought three lovely young hens to live in my beautiful coop.

My dog Harry is fascinated. He's been very good, just sniffing around not barking or giving them too hard a time.
They are 20 weeks old and just at point of lay and yet we have been rewarded with lovely eggs all ready. We are saving them up for a couple of days until we have enough for an omelette.
I am so very happy. I have wanted chickens for a very long time, we are going to have such a lovely time together.

Oh, we've got the same coop! But ours houses our Guinea Fowl. They don't lay yet, and though I keep calling them "girls" I am beginning to lose hope! May you have many happy scrambled eggs!

Thanks Grace, isn't it exciting? How old are your girls now? I think we have been very spoilt to have three eggs already - today there were none to remind us they are just getting started.
ReplyDeleteYour chicken coop is exactly the same as mine!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the fresh eggs - nothing compares x
