NO EGGS! Have resorted to daily leggtures about what hens are all about, and role playing while doing the daily food and water thing, with much wellie stomping and squatting. Ant took an egg to show them this morning, while I fluttered about, eggsplaining that laying an egg was no harder than having a baby, you just have to let it all happen. The girls were all ears, then they disappeared into the phenthouse. As the last one gave a bums up, a shaft of sunlight hit her fair in the rump, which leads me to believe, that a miracle may happen soon.
