Hi all, I gave my broody 7 eggs to sit on and yesterday was day21 and we got 7 babies, she is the best mum, she goes broody every 6 months without fail. Here is her new lot, she did this all while we had snow outside!

These are from my barnie.



It is also possible that a new layer could have laid 2 eggs in one day

I am getting 3 eggs a day now, and I've seen my Polish hanging around the nesting boxes, so it must be her.
I had just read that Polish usually lay white eggs, so am assuming she may also be a cross....

It's snowing on the valley floor.

Time to go cross country skiing. I got a pair of skis last Christmas, but we had such a lousy winter that I only got to try them once. I'm hoping this year I could put them to better use. Have you gotten all the flood damage fixed already?

hi, it's a little bowl of creamed corn, they love it, especially the babies. I also mix chick food crumbles in with it as well.

Hi everyone,
My flock of blue and black Australorps have been laying like troopers for the last 1.5 months. I can always rely on them to be good winter layers. Out of my flock of 12 (1 Roo, 1 retired hen, and 10 productive girls) I got 9 eggs today which I think is a great effort on their behalf. I thought I would grab a pic to share as I have been quiet here lately. I know pics of eggs aren't very exciting but i needed to post something
Now fingers crossed the pic works because I'm uploading from my iPhone..

Hubby has had the chainsaw out clearing the fences but we have another flood warning today.
He's also been busy making the necessary adjustments to the horse truck. Only 3 weeks before they head off over sea and land to compete. There are only ski fields up north of tassie at Ben Lomond.

Creamed corn? I've never thought of that, excellent! Thank you.

That's certainly a good endorsement for the breed.
