Our lovely ladies have started laying. They are now beautiful hens. Such a pretty collection of eggs.
They haven't quite got the hang of using the nesting box yet. All manor of objects have been used so far, including my daughters dolls pram. But it's so much fun to go hunting for eggs everyday. Though I may change my mind when the weather takes a turn.
This egg was laid right before my eyes as I was washing up. You can't get any fresher than that!
So to honour these first offerings I made a family favourite. My scrumptious lemon drizzle cake.
With obligatory sprinkles of course. It was delicious.
The lovely Sumea has sent me a little something too.
One of her cute little birdies. Thank you Sumea x.

Lovely eggs and lovely dish to put them in too.
How lovely to see the chickens doing what comes natrual while washing up.And that cake looks scrummy almost too pretty to eat.
And a lovely thoughtful gift to top it all off.

superb!!
Lovely pictures as always. I think you may have to help your hens with the nest box before it gets out of hand!

Hi Birtie, you have just made my morning with that picture of the chicken in the pushchair, love it.
If only you could send some cake this way, it looks sooooo lovely!
Have a fab day…love Lou xxx
It's lovely isn't it the great egg hunt everyday. We seem to be both doing the same thing at the same time. Our chickens are laying everywhere and at anytime too.
Your cake looks dreamy, I've not yet turned any of ours into a cake, but we had a lovely veggie ommlette last night. Eggs just one day old how fresh can you get!!

I love the photo of the chicken in the pram -hilarious!
fresh eggs are fabulous arn't they? The crows seem to be pinching my eggs at the moment though, horrible birds crows.
I bet that's the tastiest lemon drizzle cake ever. I'd love some hens, next move with any luck. My best friend has just had three so fingers crossed the odd spare egg may find its way here.
Such a pretty idea with the sprinkles - oh dear, hungry again!
Have a lovely week.
