Wow!

Noise proves nothing.
Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she laid an asteroid.

Mark Twain

My day always starts with letting the hens out of their hut. I usually do not open the door until 9am. By this time there are usually a couple of eggs in the nesting box and as the day progresses from time to time I see the odd hen making her way back to the hut to will find a space, snuggle down and lay an egg! The hens have preferences for when they lay their eggs, Bev the black one prefers late afternoon whilst the Brown ones, Olwyn and Mabel are definitely keen to lay first thing! I know this information by the colour of the eggs!

I find the hens fascinating to observe and their little faces peeping through the kitchen patio door always makes me smile. This was the case today and indeed it was just what I needed!

Having hens ensures we have a regular supply of eggs. All our hens lay so we get 6 eggs every day! When I went to collect the eggs I was surprised to say the least to find somebody had delivered a HUGE egg! Now........question is will it be a double yoke? What do you think?

One Egg = One Day by Fran Crawford

I have a picture of an egg
Painted by a friend
It's what I see to start each day
Hanging there at my bed's end

A day is like an egg, you know
Self-contained within its shell
Filled with energy and purpose
And yet remains so very frail

To free the many options here
A crack is all it takes
The shell turns loose potential
Like the dawn as each day breaks

The fate of either is our choice
The egg ...to hatch ...or boil ...or fry
The day ...to fill with worthwhile tasks
Or just enjoy as life goes by

All of our days, as all of our eggs
Are ours to use, but listen, folks
Beware of how you handle them
Some of them have double yolks!
