Yes, of course Daryl lays eggs. Wouldn't be much use as a chicken if they didn't!

Our chickens are named after friends, family and work colleages..

it started with Carla and Lucy who I work with, but I also work with Daryl who felt left out.. Then came Danny (a friend) Ben, Andy, Sheila (work colleages of Steph) Kimi (Raikkonen McLaren driver) and finally Eileen (Steph's mum - she felt left out)

Coming next is Jane (my Silver Grey Dorking named after a work colleage) and Dusty (Stephs Buff Orpington named after the music legend) coming towards the end of June.
