They lay a nice lot of eggs which increase in size in their second year. If given the choice I would go for the ones with a white head as I think they make a more attractive hen. Most of these are in their second year and still lay on most days Back to top debcat Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 8459 Location: Isle of Lewis Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2006 11:50 pm    Post subject: Jan, your first pic looks like Mrs Kitchen she's a right character and loves to wander in through the window - hence her name Back to top Spana Joined: 30 Apr 2005 Posts: 2067 Location: North Cornwall Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2006 11:57 pm    Post subject: Hi Debs, Mrs Kitchen is a lovely name. My little girl is called White Head. She came as a day old with another called Black Head to keep a lone duckling company. When I got home with them the duckling was dead. No laughing please. This is very sad stuff Back to top debcat Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 8459 Location: Isle of Lewis Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2006 12:02 am    Post subject: that sounds like something that'd happen to me mrs kitchen Back to top Spana Joined: 30 Apr 2005 Posts: 2067 Location: North Cornwall Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2006 12:11 am    Post subject: Oh yes, nice white head, they are alike.
