It sounds as though you will just have to cultivate a little patience along with all the veggies you are now growing. In a few months I can see us giving you ways of using all the surplus eggs.

Hmm, I dont think I will have that many, I estimated that each hen on average lays 300 eggs a year, so 4 hens will lay on average 1200 Eggs a year which averages about 23 Eggs a week.

As you know I love cooking, so a few Quiches, and Cakes will easily use them up.

But.....When I had my last lot of Chickens (Three) they only laid about 7 a week, so my estimate of 23 eggs a week might be way off, I might only end up with about 10-12.

When they finally decide to lay that is. No eggs this morning, Again.
