View attachment 377685 Just back in from dog walkies plus sea bathing ( bracing) . Eau de wet spaniel aroma about the place. One of these chaps flew over low, going north along the beachline.
Makes ya proud to be British.

Can’t you just go to animal rescue like everyone else?

Fab!

Thanks. I won't go into production yet as they take too long to make. It was fun doing it though.

Perhaps she haiku'd away from it.

I hope Mr Slow Worm Esq. appreciates all my hard work today preparing his possible hibernation nest for the winter. He, or she, does not like to be disturbed between November and March, so the wooden compost bin has bin emptied, and refilled. The bottom layer is a mix of twigs and softer, older material, very cosy if you are a legless lizard.

I was able to spread six very large bucketsful of compost around the garden, and still have five very large sacks of compost to spread around.

It was hard work and very tiring.

I'm boiling four eggs. Two to have with toast,two to be boiled for longer, to eat when cold.

I hard boiled 3 dozen on Friday. I'm about to hard boil another 3 dozen or so. I'll give away another dozen today, but my girls will lay between 10-15 more today. Last week they laid 96 eggs between them. It's a lot of eggs to boil, eat or preserve. Even ensuring they get 6 a day between them, I've still got a fridge full of eggs.

Start selling them. My grandma used to do that when we had about 30 hens and a family of 5 members struggled to eat eggs they laid. It was a good top up for our family budget, especially before Easter.[/QUOTE]

There's quite a few peeps around here who do this, selling eggs (and fruit & veg) by the roadside. Other option is to see whether a local cafe, pub or bakery can't take them off your hands.

If that f*ckin' alarm on a car inthe road behind my house doesn't stop going off unnecessarily every 5 minutes I'm going round there with napalm and bolt croppers!!!

You could sell them. Fresh free range eggs are popular,at the right price. Someone sells them down my local pub. I think they're about £1.75 for half a dozen.

No need to be so cruel. A few drops of valerian extract on the bonet/roof of a car would help much more.

@Reynard would start laughing after reading this ... [/QUOTE]

You can't legally still then in nsw, Australia unless your entire flock had been vaccinated against all sorts. Some of these vaccinations can only be given to 5 day old chicks otherwise they are useless.

We swap eggs for other produce when we can with hubby's work colleagues and anyone visiting usually goes home with a dozen or so but we still have way more than we can eat.
It's one of the problems of rescuing chickens! Once they are fit and healthy again...

When people insist on paying for them, I settle on $5 per dozen which is very cheap for free range organic eggs. Supermarkets sells them at around $8.99 free range organic per dozen, private shops for much more.

But I'm at the end of a dirt road 12km from the nearest tarmac. I wouldn't get much passing trade!
