And the young hens are just starting up. They're laying mini eggs - 41 grams but perfectly formed. Do you destalk your celeriacs? I think it helps in channelling their energy into their bodies rather than their leaves. Well, if you're going for a cockerel, choose carefully and trim the spurs. Our first one (Rhode Island Red) was a psycho and even the handraised current one just attacked me for the first time this week. They just love a fight.Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138189442745736204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962251726150270584.post-60684979757958564512015-12-19T20:56:00.100+00:002015-12-19T20:56:00.100+00:00Love the rooster our hens have just been through a...Love the rooster our hens have just been through a moult and have stopped laying - they had better start soon or they will be heading for the pot! I'd really like to get a couple of Wyandotte hens and a rooster - maybe in the spring. That celeriac looks amazing mine have lovely leaves but have yet to bulk up hardly surprising given the overall lack of water this year. Not sure how we manage any DiY without the aid of a cat ;)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11585558442513692716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962251726150270584.post-66773803959333055602015-12-13T16:42:02.824+00:002015-12-13T16:42:02.824+00:00Definitely heading for winter here.

We're still waiting for most of the new hens to start laying. At the moment, we're only getting about an egg a day.Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138189442745736204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962251726150270584.post-27635118939049162242015-12-13T11:53:47.189+00:002015-12-13T11:53:47.189+00:00Green indeed!

Around here the traditional breeds don't lay very much at this time of the year.Anja Finnehttps://lyokkila.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
