Hens and Half Term
Just tomorrow to go and it will be half term. No school for a whole week. Yay!! I am so looking forward to NOT being woken up by the alarm clock.
After the recent tragedy of something horrible killing my new little flock of pretty bantams, I'm hoping that I will be able to get some more hens during half term. I could really use some more eggs as ours are not laying enough for us let alone my few customers as well. I keep having to go to the shop and buy some eggs, which goes against the grain when I have 8 hens at home all eating well but not keeping to their part of the bargain. My oldest hen has once again laid 2 eggs this week and 2 more hens, who are about 18 months younger, are not laying at all and haven't for a year now. Mind you, you can be sure that within a couple of days of me buying eggs from the shop, there will be a little flurry of eggs laid and then I have to go sell them to one of my customers. Those hens must have been having conversations with my contrary cat... : )

I hope you enjoyed all your lie-ins and had a good break. Unfortunately although I teach I do not get the school holidays :(. Are the hens laying yet? Xxx

I'm so sorry that you don't get the holidays - they are like the carrot in front of the donkey and keep me going forwards... And the hens are laying a little more - at last : )
