Spreading the risk

Whether it was the shock of losing the coup that has spurred on Heinz 57 or maybe it's just that spring is in the air; she is broody.

Since our fox break in we've been leaving our eggs to accumulate in the nest box. When John went to the cabin to let them out last Thursday morning, Heinz 57 chicken was sitting, her wings spread protectively over the eggs.

John has converted Emma's old rabbit cage into a suitable brood box to give Heinz 57 the peace she needs away from Kelvin & Mrs.

We certainly don't have our eggs all in one basket - with our little egg stash in Clitheroe and our hensitting at home, surely something will deliver?
