THE DROUGHT IS OVERe
This afternoon's nest check came up with a well waited surprise. Two lovely brown Marans eggs nestled within the shavings all ready to be collected .
It seems that I am about to adopt another non-laying hen. All 6 of her flock mates were slaughtered by a predator in one horrible night. The lone hen hid under the horse box and only came out 2 days later. She is completely traumatized. Her owner said she just wanders around the yard in a daze. This week, once my DH is home for hospital where he's having another brain surgery, the hen will come to live here. With my 6 hens I hope she finds peace, even if she never lays again.
I hope that everyone has eggs of their own "real soon now" though keeping chickens is reward in and of itself.

I can, soon.
I am not happy with the colour but hopefully they will darken with time and the others have yet to lay so theirs might be darker.
