They girls are hatching a plot. Yesterday when I was cleaning them out they turned into what I am now calling chicken hoodlums. One was digging a hole and the other one tried to fly out of the run. ooh i was a bit flustered , but managed to sort it out lol.
I'm only getting about one egg a day still getting the occasional soft egg. No eggs today!
Made apple pie and apple buns with cooking apples given by aunt. Seemed to go down well with all that I gave them out too :0)

An egg today
Henrietta lay an egg hopefully the others will copy.
Chickens are so funny I hung a cabbage today for them to play with they pecked it once and haven't loked at it since. Hope they play with it tomorrow. I don't want them getting bored!
I'm starting to introduce my girls to layers pellets and they are begining to amuse themselves by scrathing about so that gives me something to watch.
Edible Garden:
All in all a good day!

No eggs today
After a couple of 'soft' eggs my hens didn't lay today. Hope my girls are gonna be ok.
I cleaned them out today. They were not amused as I locked them out of the coop. They are learning to scratch its so funny to watch! Should I worry that I've started talking to them????

Even though Molly has no wing feathers, Gertie has a bald head and Hen has a few feathers missing they still look so cute. I need to get some photo's on Saturday so I can see the change when their feathers grow in.

Edible Garden
Chives from the garden in my lunch time sarnie. I've also frozen some chives to keep for winter.
Made more jam today. 1small jar of yellow plum (windfall in the local park), 1 jar rhubarb and blackberry and 2 jars of blackberry. Shhhhhh some people might get them for Christmas.
Need to buy more jam sugar before I harvest anymore fruit.
