Antony lays the lovely brown eggs in this photo. The other nameless birds which are Speckled Hen and Blue Girl (for want of any names at the moment) lay light brown and white eggs respectively.
With 60 eggs the cost per egg for our initial outlay buying the chicken house and run , food and of course chickens now works out at about £9 each.
How did that poor hen end with such an unfortunate name?
ReplyDeleteLike the heart shaped egg dish.
I am afraid the name came from my son who links AWT's ginger beard with the colour of our brown chicken.
ReplyDelete£9 per egg! I daren't work out the egg-unit cost of ours - but what price can you put on the pleasure of watching hens free ranging round the garden. Perfect relaxation therapy!
ReplyDeleteAnother Suffolk hen-keeper!
