Not so long ago I wondered if they'd ever lay; now they've been eggsonerated, and are laying 3 a day.
The boss, Edwina, lays the big white eggs on the left above, many of which are double yolkers (like the one on eggstreme left).
The 2 Richards eggshibit more delicate ways, and lay smaller, and slightly pinkish, eggs (right).
All three have turned out to be eggsemplary hens, and now eggescute their duties in an eggscellent fashion.
Well done my beauties; you are an eggsample to hens everywhere!

Lovely looking eggs by the way. Your comment on it being October means it should be spring by now.
I eggspect they just needed a little egging on. (Sorry, that's the best I can do at this early hour.) Lovely eggs.

ReplyDeleteJust to make an announcement, as someone who has been given the opportunity to sample a few of these eggs, sitting at the French table with a newly laid egg and a piece of toast for breakfast makes it all worthwhile. Tescos have no idea of the real thing. Thanks
