Well the day has finally arrived when our new hen pen is finished and fox proofed. My red and white coup (painted by yours truly) is ready and I am going to collect our new hens after work! It is not an ideal time of year for getting new hens but having used 49 eggs last weekend I really need them. I have managed to find some that are hopefully laying so in a day or two, I should have fresh eggs again! All very exciting and I really hope that these new hens will be as friendly as our last ones.

Hannah, they would have to be super hens to produce the amount of eggs you use!! Can't wait to see pics and hear about them.

How exciting! and what a wonderful little house they've got - lucky hens! Don't worry if they lay an egg tomorrow then stop for a few days - they might already have an egg on the production line (it takes 24 and a bit hours to make an egg!) and then the worry of moving house delays the next egg starting. Sensitive things, hens!
Looking forward to seeing the photos of them moving in!

PS: You'll be spending all your tea breaks talking to the hens! :)
That is the cutest house, it looks like a kids cubby house... Vida x
