Eggs at last!!
Tue. February 21, 2012
There has been a terrible shortage of eggs in the Bowen household. Our girls, last laid in late November and despite being pampered with tonic’s, handfuls of corn twice a day, naturally a good supply of layers pellets and the full run of our garden and its bountiful supply of slugs and worms, nearly three months have elapsed and I am still having to rely on inferior shop eggs! I am pleased to say that Fasnet and Finistere our two Speckledy’s, have in the past few days laid their first eggs of the year. Clearly I shan’t be relying on them for cake baking for a while, but at least we will be able to have some pancakes for Shrove Tuesday…well done girls and come on the other two!
