When I have too many eggs I sell them at work and I always have plenty of customers. The thing I like best about keeping chickens is hearing a rooster crowing. We didn’t replace our last one when he died of old age but he was a bit of a nuisance for our visitors because he would crow at any time of day or night. Now I have to be content to hear the rooster crowing from the next farm up the valley. I’ve always had a mixed bunch of hens, ages and breeds ,so they have moulted at different times.

It’s something we may do one day, when we’re a bit more settled, but we’d have to eat a lot more eggs than we do at the moment! 🙂
