Some fab suggestions Greying :T
I have/have had a Miss Agnes (a bluebell, laid round eggs with a plum hue), a Miss Florence (a skyline, laid pale blue eggs), a Miss Hilda (a magpie, lays light brown eggs), a Miss Mavis aka Miss LRH (a rhode star, lays brown eggs) and a Miss Winifred (another skyline, laid olive green eggs until she retired)
Would you like to be an honorary auntie?

Yesterday's egg tally:
Eggs IN 6 (4+2)
Eggs OUT 0
A walk before work + a walk at lunchtime + a walk yesterday evening = 20,000+ steps :T
I picked elderberries and bullaces for hedgerow jelly making (frozen until I have time to forage for crab apples and blackberries)
