I reckon its my bovans, Rosie, who was poorly just after Christmas. She has reddened up since her recovery. So exciting finding another egg - its like getting a Christmas present every day!

We've had the odd 1 or 2, but for the last week or so we've been getting 4 or 5.

I'm getting several eggs a week again now, Henny is quite prolific, I guess because she's a hybrid. Muppet is laying and Blue is back in lay now.
