Brown hen turned out to be a real treasure...
She used to be an egg eater in her former home, a troublesome problem for a flock of layers as the other hens are prone to copy the bad habit.The change of environment coupled with a change of management appears to have been benignly traumatic enough to encourage her into healthier habits. Brown hen had been sitting twelve eggs, this morning Anne-Sophie was greeted by three new arrivals, they took well to the finely ground maize. We'll leave it to the Mother hen to decide when her family is ready to brave the pleasures and dangers of the world at large, in the meantime she looks adoringly at the first born whilst sitting patiently on the remainder of unhatched eggs.
