We’ve been lucky enough to gain a hen – she appeared in the garden recently. She lays most days so we’re not short of eggs at the moment. We bought a couple of bantams to keep her company, but they aren’t laying yet (broody).

Update: One of the bantams is laying now – sweet little creamy-white eggs. 6 years ago

Saw a documentary tonight on Channel 4 (Dispatches) Supermarket Secrets. Nasty. 7 years ago

I have been buying only free-range eggs for a long time now, but because of cost/availability have not always been able to buy meat that has been raised in good conditions.

I have decided that since I eat very little meat (just chicken and pork and not on a daily basis) I should be able to afford to buy good stuff. 7 years ago
