They certainly are! I get beautiful deep yellow eggs full of goodness. I have five chooks and four young chicks, which have grown up so fast.
They live in the enclosure with our fruit trees and they ate all my grapes this year so I will have to be on the ball next year and get in first.
This is only the second year for all the fruit trees and they are going great guns (they should be – some of the tractor tyres they are growing in are worth thousands … one is near new but has a hole – what a waste of money!).
