This one was Butterscotch within the chocolate and I was given another one this week - a Hot Cross Bun one! Nothing inside, just hollow eggs, but very yummy! And I'm sorry if I'm teasing you with chocolate before Easter!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-26139680178318356372012-03-26T10:00:16.727+01:002012-03-26T10:00:16.727+01:00Yep a real LARGE chocolate egg!

As long as there is no cockerel there shouldn't be too much noise, and you would think it would be a "sustainable city" factor too!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-61962264827628435792012-03-26T09:59:05.110+01:002012-03-26T09:59:05.110+01:00I don't mind them not EATING them if they woul...I don't mind them not EATING them if they would only lay them ;-) But thank you for the giant choccy (as opposed to chooky) egg which will keep me going for a few days!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-58832958929662726592012-03-26T09:58:12.781+01:002012-03-26T09:58:12.781+01:00Yes several are coming into lay now the days are l...Yes several are coming into lay now the days are lengthening. I know some folk put a light in the hen house so they lay all year round but I'm happy for my hens to have a wee rest! Usually I'll get one or two that lay through the winter but I had a combination of older hens who had stopped and younger hens not yet ready to lay.Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-68943120048136805782012-03-25T09:13:06.445+01:002012-03-25T09:13:06.445+01:00that is quite the chocolate egg ... one wonders if...that is quite the chocolate egg ... one wonders if it is a trick of photography (shot being taken a distance from said egg) or if that egg is filled with more eggs ... <br /><br />Anne in Cambridge (the U.K. one)<br /><br />p.s. gave up choc for Lent, despite being a supporter of Dawkins etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-91676393663383948422012-03-19T00:39:54.396+00:002012-03-19T00:39:54.396+00:00Holy cats !

I used to find that our hens started to lay much better once the days were longer than the nights. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.com
