Oh WOW! At the ripe old age of 2.5 years, about 8 months after she last laid (apart from the odd half dozen between April and June this year), SOPHIA laid an egg today! And boy, didn't she let us know!
We think it's because we've redesigned the run. It now has nice hardwood verticals and a clear insert in the roof so they get a lot more light :o) Not only that though - we've also swapped the feed to a new brand and they seem to be enjoying it :o)
Kittens are enjoying the chickens too! And the chickens are enjoying scaring off the kittens (who are 30 weeks old tomorrow) :oD
