| GO Snadger!!(or should that be Go Chooks?)We started off with 10 chickens & remember our first day of 10 eggs~(I speak like we've had them for years but in fact only since Easter) it's a great feeling aint it~knowing every single one of them has left you a little pressie!We've only been getting 6 or 7 last few days but a few of them looking like they're molting!I'm sure we'll find lost feather evidence in due course! Our 2 younger ones should start laying Sept~just hoping their eggs look different~would like to know when we get their 1st~special chook party & all!! Enjoy those eggs!

| Wow congratulations  Mine have NEVER all laid eggs on the same day. Been getting 7 from the 9 of them some days though, far too many for me, but friends are always very grateful

| Congratulations Snadger. Enjoy those eggs. I talk myself in and out of the chook idea everyday. I'd love the eggs but don't want the responsibility.

| Good girls! and to think that somebody wrote off those hens as useless layers. Just goes to show what a little TLC (and swede tops!) will do!

| I've set up a little stall at the allotment entrance with a sign 'Fresh eggs @ 80p a 1/2 doz' They're going like hot cakes and I even had one punter waiting at the gate for me to go and collect todays offerings! First day I did it I didn't take account of the thieving magpies and one of them had a go at an egg and pecked a hole in it!  Now everythings covered with a perspex door and my 'Honesty box' is inside. People usually leave a quid which I aint complaining about! Ooop's I've just had a de-ja-vu so if I've wrote this somewhere else on the forum..........please accept my appologies!

| Ok, stop bragging  Seriously though, congratulations to you and your girls. I bet the previous owner isn't too chuffed You're definitely without a doubt giving them exactly what they need and deserve. See, I knew you'd get fluent in chook before too long
