new year, new eggs

we've got one very clucky hen. she's always clucky. she lays about a dozen eggs and then she'll just stay on the nest and brood.

the other day we went and visited a wildlife park where they have an old farm yard (amongst other things) with a collection of old breeds of chickens (and pigs, horses and goats...) where they advertised fertilised eggs.

and so it is, four little eggs of the silver spangled hamburg variety are now being loved beneath the fluffy black feathers of our ever broody silkie.
we've only got to wait 21 days!
