A hen in Ottawa’s eastern outskirts has squeezed out an egg as heavy as a baseball.
The egg, which has a mass of 143 grams almost three times the size of a standard medium egg and within the 141-148 g range for a Major League Baseball ball was laid Friday by a red shaver hen on [...]
Shamefaced, Marie-Anne admitted that in a moment of over exuberance, Megan had inadvertently consumed one of Kate’s costly fayoumis. This disaster propelled her inexorably, to Salisbury Market, where top price (£2.00) was paid (amongst other purchases) for a cockerel (to the delight of other bidders).The cockerel bought to improve the egg laying capacity in Frogham [...]

Bracken Cottage finally succumb to peer pressure. Many Blissfordians have commented to us about the lack of some je ne sais quoi which would give completeness to Blissford Garden suburb.

Sara has been concerned that their gifted cockerel was lonely and and Kate was able to supply a small hen called Quasimodo for company. Matters have improved and now Frizzlecock leaves the barn quite happily. Sara is not satisfied with the hen supplied (small and not very pretty – in line for KFC when diverted).

Three eggs, undoubtably their last, were in the [...]

A cockerel often distracts as it is difficult to eat your own egg with an importunate male clutching your neck feathers in his beak as he rides your back and thrusts at your bottom or try installing a t.v. or move to Blissford, then if all else fails, you can alert the High Sheriff of [...]
There is still a suspicious egg glut at Hen Haven for those with Egg Nogg recipes.
The road valve seems to have failed for the Explorer Chicken Centre water point and after informing B & H, they sent a man who thoughtfully sprayed the valve blue. The New Blue Valve can now be enjoyed by all those passing Brook Farm.
