Eggwatch

Something great happened just before Christmas - I had my first egg from the infamous Yirrell chickens - I think I raved about it then and bored everybody rigid.

But over the past two weeks, the birds seem to have gone into overdrive and have been producing between five and six eggs a day, every single day.

I have given them away to all my family and friends and am still awash with eggs! Now is the time to start my business sideline and sell the things. I don't think I'll become a millionnaire at £1.20 for half a dozen, but you have to start somewhere.
