  2. Thank you! Olive thanks you too.

    I hope you get your hens! They'll bring you a lot of joy as well as eggs.

  3. Clever Olive! Can you explain to the non-hen people (ie, me) how come some eggs are blue, some brown and American eggs are white? I've always wondered..

    What a beautiful coloured egg. It seems a shame to eat something as good looking as this!

  9. Thanks everyone! Olive would be quite full of herself.

    Charlie, it's something to do with the very end of the egg-laying process. The eggs get a coating, and that colour depends on the hen.
