I will find out. They are laying soft eggs at the moment as they have just started laying. I'm going to worm them too. <br />Re the strawberries the kids eat them all too often so they don't go mushy lol. However if there are any dodgy ones, the hens get them :)Tracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05866363148112288322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-71435890922640216512016-07-06T04:10:26.626-07:002016-07-06T04:10:26.626-07:00I tend to use it when I make mint dip and there...I tend to use it when I make mint dip and there's always left overs so the hens will definitely be getting that!Tracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05866363148112288322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-61867588314809937512016-07-06T04:09:49.992-07:002016-07-06T04:09:49.992-07:00Oh it is an more.

Maybe they are the ones I planted later to try and get some successionally. I must label them all properly next year.Tracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05866363148112288322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-22523509934821226412016-07-05T14:09:30.054-07:002016-07-05T14:09:30.054-07:00Ooh i read on facebook the other day about if you ...Ooh i read on facebook the other day about if you paint a few stones/pebbles red and put them out in the veg plot earlier in the year, they'll peck at them then lose interest by the time your strawberries come out and they'll leave them alone :) i' trying it next year :) xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032098795635903411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-34108150099849757822016-07-05T09:31:35.374-07:002016-07-05T09:31:35.374-07:00I don't know where to start.

What breed are your hens from the auction, they look very much like ours. 1kg of strawbs, well done you, how do you stop them from going mushy, I use straw and try and keep them on top of it but we also don't have too many just now. Very envious! Fresh toms,too, mmm. Well done on all your efforts.Louise Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074355125344865358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-76786741345778409092016-07-05T07:46:50.205-07:002016-07-05T07:46:50.205-07:00My hens LOVE yoghurt but I've never bought any...My hens LOVE yoghurt but I've never bought any for them - only shared when a big tub is getting a bit old.
