Slightly deceptive this month because of course we have 2 more hens so it is probably more like 31 for comparison purposes but Bell has got off to a stonking start.
Blue still doesn't appear to be laying but is eating plenty so we are keeping our fingers crossed that she'll gain some confidence soon. We had 3 eggs today, from Rom, Hythe and Bell. We also had egg sandwiches for breakfast with lovely golden yolks.
P.S. Much excitement this week as our new copy of Home Farmer arrived and there, on page 41, was a quote from yours truly! I had commented on their blog about growing enough food for 52 meals a year and they obviously liked what I said. Hurrah!
Very impressive mention in Home Farmer. Got my copy today and it should keep me going all week. The best read of the month.

These ex-bats certainly know how to show their appreciation for a lovely home.
