We’ve decided to reclaim some of the garden from the chickens and have penned them an area of about 18m * 12m with mesh and wooden posts.  The fence is 0.9 metre high and "chicken proof".   This morning when Wor Pet went out to see them, one of the chickens took a run towards […]

The finchs continue to show the chickens how it’s done with another egg this morning.

While I was in Edinburgh and Tracey and Laura were in London the chickens were being looked after by neighbours.  Tracey and Laura arrived back home on Friday afternoon and found that the chickens had pulled one back – laying an egg sometime either Thursday or Friday.  When she told me I was intially sceptical […]

The Finchs are now up to 4 eggs whilst the chickens remain on 0.  The Finchs are running away with the title of "Most Prolific Egg Layers In Our Home 2008" and are currently looking like a shoe in for the prestigious "Golden Egg 2008" awards which will be presented later in  the year from the […]
