Grow Your Own Veg in Raised Beds. Wednesday, 18 April 2012. The chickens have settled in really well and are laying well too. Usually lay an egg each a day.

Hopefully we will get some that hatch and also some that are females! I guess this one will be too! Will let you know). Gary and Jen, and Ruby and Peter.
