It was an idle threat ( we are, after all, vegetarians) but we couldn’t understand why the six Bantams had “gone off lay”.
And then, this afternoon, I did a thorough search of the run and discovered a nest in the corner behind the chicken house and inside the nest were five beautiful little brown eggs. No chicken soup this weekend!

How lovely, aren’t hens just amazing, when our hens are down with egg numbers we find a nest in the sheep barn on top of the straw bales, I was thinking I might have to pop over to you with emergency supplies.
