Australorb Hen
The chickens are laying, but with all the snakes around, I or the kids have to keep going down several times a day to get the eggs so no-one comes to steal them in between.
Today I made a cake that uses six eggs, soon I’ll make my flourless hazelnut cake that uses a whole dozen! It’s hard to keep up with six or more eggs per day for the spring season – you soon have a couple of dozen in the fridge. We’ll miss them though once the weather gets hot and they go off the lay again.
Some of my chickens are now lovely old ladies, I will have to get a few more ‘spring chickens’ to add to the flock soon… and maybe a well-behaved rooster who doesn’t crow at every full moon all night long – my neighbours would not appreciate it.
