The bullying has abated a bit...I have separated out the culprits Atilla the Hen ( formerly known as Tuesday!) and Genghis Hen ( formerly known as Friday!) out into their own run the Eglu ( aka the Sinbin!) , where they are kept penned in for some of the day whilst the other 4 are allowed out around them....it seems to be working!
Mind, you...we did have a couple of funny eggs in the week!

This picture is what I found last Tuesday in one nest box...the LARGE egg is from Henny and weighed 88 g and measured 2 1/2 inches...the small egg is only just over 1 inch long and weighed less than 25 g....
You've got yourself a wind egg there (the little one), aka a 'fart egg'. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI thought that as well Lucy...but no it was a "proper" egg..yolk mainly! and Compostgirl delighted in eating it as a soft boiled one for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteMind you, with 5 plus eggs a day we are eating boiled eggs for breakfast EVERY day!
Well done your girls *big round of applause* they are doing well. Love their names :D I get egg sizes similar to yours, and its funny because the largest hen lays the teeny weeny egg, and the small hen lays whoopers.
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know I have tagged you on my blog, but dont feel obliged to continue with it x
