New kids on the Block.

We got three new Isa Browns today. These are point of lay so we should see the egg production go up. Cackles and Penny haven't been doing much at all for weeks and Henny is broody so I'm only getting an occasional egg from her. They're all a bit past it I think. A friend suggested I make stock from the ones that aren't laying! I suggested that when she is physiologically unable to produce eggs we might boil her up as well! Said friend thought that was hysterical. Insensitive coot!


 Hyacinth is on the right and Violet and Daisy are on the left. A direct steal from "Keeping up Appearances" an old English comedy.
