Look! Yes Bev is laying her blue eggs again - and from this collection I can see the others are too. Mabel is still laying her eggs near the old seat but as I have marked the others I know which is the fresh one.
If you remember, the hens were housed in two sheds, but last week the wind blew the door shut on henhouse 1. The hens, and Ernest all went into henhouse 2 and have been going in every night now and laying their eggs in one of the nesting boxes. This is Great News! We are now up to full production.
Well done Gals!
I noticed from my blog that this is post 194 - so post 200 is drawing close and I am going to have a Give Away!
Watch this space!
So nice to know they're all getting along together now. It must make putting them to bed at night a little easier;-)
ReplyDeleteWe all knew Bev was going to pull through for you :-)
ReplyDeleteFantastic news, and so pretty. My Legbars used to lay bloue eggs but theyre getting on a bit now - I do miss them. So glad that Bev is back in the game x
ReplyDeleteWow, you must be eating very well right now! lol Is this going to be your ABCW post (GREAT!) I'm working on mine as I "type" - Glamis Castle this week's destination! :D
ReplyDeleteI love it when the chickens start what I call full production! And the blue egg is beautiful!

you've only had 194 posts? astonishing; I would have thought more. I'm at 2309.
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful batch of eggs! How wonderful to eat your own chickens' produce. I'm sure they're happy hens (h-day is coming up!) to produce so many eggs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a colourful selection of eggs :-)
ReplyDeleteThe blue eggs are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI used to get 'Cotswold Legbar' eggs when they were reduced at Tescos a few years back, not seen any lately though.

Showing my ignorance ... I didn't know hens laid eggs in different colours.
ReplyDeleteLOve the green one, now who laid an egg like that (to be said in a Lloyd Grosman-ish sort of way!)?
ReplyDeleteYou'll be ok for eggs then now. Love those blue ones.
ReplyDeleteLovely colourful eggs for Easter! (I realise it's a long way off - today's sunshine has gone to my head!)
ReplyDeleteI never knew that chickens could lay such an array of different coloured eggs!
ReplyDeleteThe different colours are laid by he following hens :-
ReplyDeleteBlue/green - Bev the black hen, white egg - Margie the white hen, dark brown - brown hens, olwyn and Mabel, light brown eggs - light brown hens Eva and May. Hope this helps.
Great news!! didn't know one could find different egg colors!
ReplyDeleteThe give-away? even greater news ;)

great news and great eggs from the great gals! And you Denise are a great egg and gal!
ReplyDeleteHelenMac, ABC Wednesday Team :)
Hi Denise! The eggs are all beautifully coloured. So every hen has her own colour, hasn't she. The blue egg is very special.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit.I wish we had many green men here like you have. If you happen to have some photos of a green man could you send it to me please by e-mail? My sister was the first who drew my attention to them. She had read about them.
No blue Aga, but blue egga! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear the girls are behaving themselves, and laying eggs again.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how many posts I have done. I sometimes delete many of my old posts and start fresh. Especially if I decide to change the theme of my blogs.
What a treat to have fresh eggs...glad everyone's settled in for now!
ReplyDeleteOur two girls are producing too, although I've never see a blue egg. Good luck with the aga hunting, I'd love an aga *jealous*
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious clutch of eggs Denise ~ I bet that they taste as good as they look :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful eggs, and how nice to know togetherness has been achieved, along with full production. Good for the girls!

It must be nice to have fresh eggs all the time, so unlike me who has to buy eggs from the store.
ReplyDeleteMost fascinating!
ReplyDeleteThe eggs are wonderful and they have different colours.
ReplyDeleteIn our farm in Brazil,and in my childhood I used to "sing"for the chickens, in my kid wisdom, I was sure the chickens could produce more eggs with my songs! :)
Well...they never complained about! LOL
