We have been having some very nice spring-like days, however the nights are definately very very cold. I am pleased to say that the hens have settled in to their new home and apart from the odd squabble over who has the porridge first they are getting along fine. We are getting 6 eggs a day so they are all laying! Way to go girls!
On the Home front progress is being made, be it small steps to begin with. We are waiting for a builder to come and talk about a hole in a wall, doors etc and will speak to the Aga restoration chap next Monday when he returns from his holiday. I will begin packing away books etc during the next couple of days in preparation for the first stage in the operation - all is about to happen. My curtain project is coming along well and I hope to complete the 2 other pairs by the end of the week. One pair - the largest is finished - will post pics later.
Not a long post from me today - I am quite exhausted after the work we have been doing - but the next post will be 200 (on here anyway) so do watch out for my Giveaway.
Happy weekend and have a great time on the Home front!! Hope the Hens are in the Hen house and don't mind all the renovations!!

Glad the hens have settled in and are keeping your supplied with those great eggs -- one of my favorite things. Can't wait to see photos of work on your house! Sounds like a big project! Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteIf the hens are happy...everybody's happy! Except the hens don't have to worry about builders coming. Good for you, sewing new curtains.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well.

good job hens!! :)
ReplyDeleteperfect choice for this week! Can't wait to see your house when it's fully completed.
ReplyDeleteIt's heartwarming to see such happy hens pecking and clucking in harmony Denise :)
ReplyDeleteI am wondering what you do with all those eggs...if you eat them, are you getting sick of eggs all the time? lol Or maybe you give them away or sell them? Glad things are getting rolling with the kitchen refit!

Love your hens and home, as I just finished reading Alexander McCall Smith's novel La's Orchestra Saves the World.
ReplyDeleteDelightful little book...the main character La...takes care of hens during the war years in England.
I thought of you as I was reading.
Your hens look so happy and contented and the thought of those nice fresh eggs sets me dreaming of a hen house project, never mind rejuvenating the house (ours, that is)
ReplyDeleteHappy hens - wonderful! Fresh eggs - such a gift! Wish you a quick and perfect remodel.
ReplyDeletehens and home,
ReplyDeletehomely words.
smiles.
bless you.
wow, fresh eggs from the hen...we also have hens haha but i don't have photos of them haha.
ReplyDeleteHappy ABC Wed.
I have enjoyed following the aptly named Aga Saga, and so pleased to know that it is staying put, with a bit of 'tarting' in the offing.
ReplyDeleteGreat that the hens are laying... oh, BTW
Q. Why couldn't the chicken find Her eggs?
A. Because she Mislaid them.
Your chickens get porridge for breakfast....they eat better than my kids...
ReplyDeleteYou seem very calm about what sounds like a long, disruptive project!
ReplyDeleteAll systems go then now. Hope everything goes to plan for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your message on my blog. My main food allergy is eggs. I thought it was chocolate and didn't have any for over a year, how I managed that I'll never know! I had a food allergy test and now know which foods to avoid. As my migraines started when I hit 40, I think mine are mainly hormone based, so I live in hope of 'growing out of them'!
ReplyDeletePacking books away, now there's a task that would take me forever! I'd simply have to open, to peek, to read a bit :)
ReplyDeletePleased to hear the hens are happy in their home - do they get new curtains too?
I just passed 100 posts. I was thinking of a giveaway then posted without thinking and missed it! Maybe at 150..

these hens look healthy
ReplyDeleteSay Hi to my Horse, my entry for H.
199 post impressive! How wonderful for you to get fresh eggs. They are so beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteBusy days these are--for you and the hens. I'm enamored with chickens ever since Buddy the rooster was dropped off in our apt. complex last year. [sadly he was hit by a car] I'm feather smitten now!
ReplyDeleteOf course you had to give the girls the H-day!!!
ReplyDeleteGet some rest yourself!

pretty chicken, we used to have that before :)
