Great to think back, Minty |
When I was a four year boy, my mother kept a single hen which rarely laid a single egg. The hen was sentenced to the pot for the sunday lunch only a few days away and with no right to appeal. Here came the heros...my sister and I went to see granny who kept several hens and yes we "borrowed" two to three eggs daily. My mother couln'd understand how a hen could lay two - three eggs daily but she was happy with that. Our hen life was spared, some of my granny hens paid with their life for not laying eggs anymore.....you cannot win!!
