One hen “couldn’t wait” to be let out this morning and had already laid a beautiful, brown egg. Thank you

Mrs Silkie has “gone broody” in December? Jeremy has put a clutch of assorted eggs underneath her and we will count 21 days from Christmas Day.

Mrs Bantie’s chick is happy in her new home with Chris’s granddaughter. She arrived in a box to the girl’s utter surprise and delight. Elsie has a magic touch with chickens – they love her and she loves them.
