Hot bran mash!
To keep then laying with the cold weather they get this daily treat - which they LOVE.

The four browns (minus Doris who is otherwise engaged) with their plate of hot bran mash.


The six blacks with their plate. The browns are still too bossy to share theirs. The blacks (being simple chooks) haven't figured it out yet that they are just as big as the brown chooks and more numerous - they still defer to the browns.


Doris laying an egg - tormented by the smell of hot bran mash.
