Yesterday we got ur first egg of 2012, in fact the first egg since the end of August. I was so ridiculously pleased with it that I took a picture.

For even more pictures, and to marvel at how much can be written about a single medium sized egg, there's a blog entry here: http://johnnorman.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/the-first-egg-of-2012/ (http://johnnorman.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/the-first-egg-of-2012/)
Are your hens bantams by any chance? We have 4 of the blighters & they stop laying in August & start again in February ;D.
So who had it for breakfast? :)
@GrannyJanny No, they're large pure breed fowl - Ixworths. We were warned that they'd take a winter break!
@Pumpkinlover I wanted my wife to have it; she wanted me to eat it. So we'll wait for the second one, then have one each. :)
