Yay, the chooks have started laying.

Great eggcitement this weekend!!!!

The girls have laid!

Yes, our lovely Isa browns have earnt their keep and produced their first eggs.

their first eggs are a bit smaller than usual but not as small as the silkie egg on top.

They are also a pretty speckled colour at the moment.

All those scraps, the loving comments and garden rambles have paid off at last.

It really is a great system.

We give them our scraps and a bit of chook grain, in return they produce lots of lovely chook manurey hay and gorgeous eggs.

Our first eggs.....

Guess what? 

Well I suppose the title told you really.

Our gorgeous girls Pepper and Honey have done their job and presented us with our very first eggs.

Silkies eggs are smaller than regular layer chook eggs.

We used to use 3 silky eggs to two regular eggs a few years ago when we had Delores and Pam.

Master B found the eggs.

There was great excitement and he has "baggsed" egg collection as his job.

Well done girls, keep up the good work.

Pretty blue eggs.

There was great excitement in our garden the other day. The kids had found a nest in the fig tree when they were climbing it and looking for a place to build a shelter. (Bear Grylls you have a lot to answer for!)

A bird had been busy nesting in the fig.

Lulu the scruffy wonderdog had been mighty interested in the movement in the tree.

Mr M. doesn't take too kindly to blackbirds eating the fruit on his fruit trees and Lulu wouldn't leave it alone.

So I got to have a little play with the eggs before they visited the compost.

I think they are a perfect shade of blue.
Now I am going to step away from the computer and try to catch up on some housework.
Have a happy Friday.
