Mega exciting – we are starting to get a great selection of coloured eggs: we have two leghorns giving us white eggs, two Copper Marans giving us dark brown and two mixed breed giving us green/blue. We also have three/four others giving us varying shades of pale brown and cream. It's also a bit of a relief that the numbers are going back up – all thanks to our new poults, hatched this spring/summer. Not only does it mean we can go back to always having hard boiled eggs for lunch but we can now also start giving them to the dogs again, resulting in happy dogs and shiny coats!!
