Yes, we had TWO eggs yesterday! Quite an event. Elvis has been laying a lovely brown egg every day without fail . . . . . . and Molly continues to claim it as her own, hanging around until Elvis leaves the nest box and then settling herself onto it as though she'd done all the hard work! A couple of days ago someone laid an egg behind the wheelie bin which then got eaten by the others! But yesterday whoever it was laid the egg in the hen house.
Back to just one egg again today though, so perhaps it was just too much effort. Or perhaps it was such a surprise after all this time that the shock put them off the idea? Anyway, the extra egg has been duly turned into a quiche to take to Ben and his girlfriend Lucy when we visit them tomorrow in their new home.
