Just seen this at work from some lads who help out.

get your self some and its eggsta special
I think about free range quite a bit - I always buy free range, but when I look at all the other products I buy in the supermarket I;d say at least
50% contain egg, or at least egg white or powder or similar.
How much of the eggs used by food manufacturers or bakeries etc. do you think are free range?
I bet none are.
Still, I'll carry on buying free range, so at least some of the little cluckers have a reasonable eggsistance.

I've got four hens at the moment. Two old ladies and a couple of younger ones. They are great. They wander round the garden eating grass and bugs
of all sorts. They keep the snakes away and eat almost all our peelings and food refuse. The only thing they don't like is curry.
They come and follow you around and the tamer ones ask to be stroked and picked up. My kids love them.
When we got them around 4 years ago I noticed that I was putting out one bin bag a week less. See, they're ecological too
And you get the best eggs you've ever eaten. Only problem is that ordinary eggs seem horrible now...
Same goes for ducks - great pets and quite easy to house train too. I always kept them when I was a lad. They don't have to have a pond either
The eggs can be a bit rich for eating as egg (scrambled, boiled etc), but they don't half make for good baking.
