Finally, after what seemed like forever (9 months) my Dorking hens have started to lay eggs! They are a heritage breed, so they take a little longer to get going than hybrids such as the Pearl White Leghorn, which start as early as 4 months. I've only gotten four eggs so far, but am sure the production will pick up as the weather warms.
I have the day off from work today, and spent most of yesterday on the road with my Darling. We have company coming tonight for supper, my husband's cousin and his lovely wife. I haven't had the chance to get the house back in order so guess what i'm going to be doing all day?
Tonight's menu:
BBQ chicken
mashed potatoes
Gravy
Salad
Brown rice with cheese and veggies
Dessert: Strawberry cheese cake (yes, from a box lol)
Have a good day everyone!
