Wakey wakey rise and shine it's 6.00am at brookside farm and our hens are woken when they are lit up for the day, thatโs when I appear bright eyed and bushy tailed (most days ๐) to check all is well with my 3,500 flock inside my Hen Shed. Morning time is very busy with all hens inside and safe during the night. The feeding chain is going round for the first of many feeds a day, Its rather noisy with hens coming and going from the nesting boxes laying their fresh eggs and singing out as they lay. A couple of hours into the morning the doors open and they are free to roam with some venturing further than others ๐ Each morning at 7.30am the egg belt is then switch on for the day and we begin to collect all the fresh eggs laid in the nesting boxes, it's then a hop skip and a jump and the fresh eggs are all ready for you to buy in our farm shop. If you donโt see me on the farm youโll find me very often inside my hen shed checking all is well within my flock. 4 years later from a fear of hens anyone would think I know what I'm doing ๐๐ Happy Saturday looks like a wet one so thought Iโd share a little insight while having my morning brew โ๏ธ๐ณAnyone for fresh eggs? Open today 8am-3pm ๐ณ๐ณ
