- As part of our very smallholding we have three hens. The hen above is Clover she is an ex battery hen. We also have Joan (the black hen and leader of the flock) and Herminoe (the red hen. They lay about 5 eggs each a week usually in the morning and sometimes ready for breakfast! They Live in an Egglo. We think they like it. They eat most things mainly layers mash (a prepared hen food) greens, fruit and cat food, yes hens are omnivores! and of course fresh water. Everyday they play around the garden, dust bath and preen and eat! they are real little characters we hope you will enjoy reading about them.

Fantastic action photo. I have guinea fowl eggs in the incubator at the moment and I am waiting anxiously to see if they hatch. I have enjoyed reading your articles and will visit again soon to check on the progress of the chicks.
