Margo is off the mark!

Check out the latest productivity chart. We're down to £6.27 per egg, brilliant, although this will change as we shortly have to spend £5.50 on another sack of pellets.

We didn't eat it. We suspect she got taken by surprise - it was in the run rather than in the laying box, and she had trodden on it, breaking the shell. But it was a lovely dark brown speckled colour, and I'm sure the next one will be delicious.

Hopefully she will start laying in the appropriate place now. It must be a confusing time for a hen. Life is normal, peck peck, dig dig, chomp chomp and suddenly BLAM eggs start appearing out of your 'vent' on an almost daily basis. Ask yourselves, how would you feel?
