S, V F X!
At last! It's been a very long time since we last had an egg from the girls, so I was really excited to see two of them (Ping and Astrid) trying out the nest box this morning.
The Old Wives say that the hens should come back into lay around Valentine's day. They are about right then - for 1 out of my 15 girls anyway.
I'm not sure who laid it. It's probably Ping, the Dorking, as it's not really a pure white egg. But i'm recollecting that my Leghorns didn't lay china white eggs, so they must have something else mixed in with their heritage.
But here it is, in all its glory.
I'm not ready to cancel my weekly egg order just yet though.
