New Hens

The new hens have settled in really well. They are only 20 or maybe 22 weeks old, which is really young for egg-layers. It's a sure sign that they are happy and content and well fed and watered. The eggs are small now but the more they lay the bigger they'll get. The shells are quite hard...which I'm told is a good sign. It means the diet is good. Plenty of vitamins and nutririon. The yolks are orange rather than yellow.
