Hi Mathewriches
Congratulations! That really is brilliant when you start getting your first eggs. How many hens have you got, what sorts of breed are they?
Well Done
Sally

I have got 6 Black Rock hens which are hybrids. they are used in commerical free range farms are they are very hardy birds and lay good eggs for a long time. they are all black with gold highlights.

I have got 1 egg a day since last saturday and now it seems like i will be getting 2! In a couple of weeks time i would like to be getting 4 - 6 a day which will be sold or bartered.
