Our first egg finally arrives...... just in time for Christmas

Its a good thing we don't have hoards of family descending upon us this year. Our first egg from our three chickens has finally arrived. We can't tell from the egg itself who actually laid it, but the odds are that it was Kitekat (she who has been crouching recently and enjoying vigourous dust baths). Then again, it could have been planted by either my husband or any of the children - although the egg shows no sign of a lion or date stamp!!

Anyway - the tricky decision now is what to do with the egg. Poach, fry or soft boil???

Eglu Sitting from the Chicken Sitters . . . .

We are offering a chicken sitting service on the Berkshire/North Hampshire/ Oxfordshire/Wiltshire borders, giving you peace of mind when away on holiday.


You can deliver your chickens in their own Eglu, or you can hire a holiday Eglu, which would save you the hassle of dismantling your own.


Each morning the chickens are let out into the run and tucked up again at night. If you have any special routines, these can be continued whilst you are away.


Organic feed and treats are provided as well as general housekeeping.


We do not allow your chickens to roam free unless you supply a separate pen - this is purely to avoid disputes with other resident chickens.


We have 3 chickens, 3 cats and 2 chicken friendly dogs. We also have Giant African Land Snails but they don't really spend any time with the chickens....


The chickens live in a large garden with grass and a wooded area which will easily accommodate your own feathered friends.

However, we can only take up to two extra Eglus, in addition to our Holiday Eglu and of course our own!x


Cost is £2.50 per chicken per day or £3.50 per chicken per day if using our Eglu.
