Thanks Henry! That's a beautiful photo!

My lavenders are my best layers. I get 3-4 eggs a day from 4 hens. The egg is a small pale cream. Almost white, but not quite. The eggs have been very fertile and tough, and so far every baby has grown up the same lovely lavender as the parents.

Seriously someone bid so that I don't have to buy a batch and end up with 3 times as many lavender chicks as I need for the project

I think one of my hens wants to bid on them. She was acting seriously broody last night. Last year I was able to break her of it but I don't think I can this time. I need to move her out of the pen in case its contagious!
