Egg Time

A view through the mobile coop from back to front.
The rear door is down so you can see right through the hen house.
Giblet has laid an egg in the nesting box on the right.

Close up photo of Giblet's fresh egg. She has made a little nest in the straw. 
Both Curry and Giblet are good at making nests.
Curry loves sitting on eggs and sleeping in the coop.

Lydia has been dying to buy an egg storage house like this one for ages but hasn't seen any for sale in the local shops. This cute egg house was a lucky find in a second hand store and was on display in the shop's front window. It must have been waiting for me to walk buy, see it, buy it and decorate my kitchen with eggs from the 2 Happy Hens! 

 The pair of chickens on the oval black stand are salt and pepper shakers. 
They were part of a farewell gift from Lydia's previous employer, along with a
bamboo chopping board in the shape of a chicken! (not pictured)
