Chickens are supposed to lay less in the winter. Apparently it's triggered by the shortening days, so we've been planning to install a low-watt lightbulb in the henhouse. We haven't done it yet because they're still producing an egg a day each.
good luck with the eggs/chickens; chickens/eggs programme.
I'm going to tab your blog on my firefox site so I can zip in the odd visit or two.
Thank you for your comprehensive and well thought out reply to my request. We're all too accepting of what is fed into the public domain and some alternative thinking is necessary.
I do have a site on blogspot but don't use it much, I find it too quiet.
Hey there, I've been looking through your blog - it's really wonderful! The Chicken house is amazing, those lucky chooks! Now they are even getting a little bedside lamp too!
Thank you for writing up 'how to's' on things. It's lovely that you share your knowledge, it is also inspiring : ) I am now excited about making some soap, and making things in general, there'll be no barcodes on my christmas presents this year!
I was reading another self-sufficient blog the other day and came acroos a reference to eggs as 'somthing' berries, but can't remember what it was. Any ideas as it took me a whiole to cotton on then I laughed a lot. My kids would love the term, if only i could remember what it was.
Eggs are often called hen fruit or cackle berries. My boys, being boys, have come up with other names like butt berries (or henny penny butt berries), butt fruit, and the like.

But an egg by any other name is still tasty. :-)
And the Aussie vernacular for eggs is "bum-nuts".
