It is about the size of a pigeon egg and weighs 9 grams. Apparently it is not uncommon and all the girls have been laying normal eggs ever since. I wish I still had that big double yoker so I could put the two eggs together. I have not cracked it open yet so I don't know if it has a tiny yoke and is just a teeny egg - cute but weird! Oh, and it was laid on Halloween, maybe just one of the chickens having a joke. : )
Good news, Esmeralda has not coughed for about two weeks and is back to her normal self - noisy, demanding and eats too much - it's good to have her back. : )

How to protect our cycad revoluta from being decimated by those blue moths that lay eggs on the tender new fronds. Firstly spray new leaf buds with pyrethrum then cover with net, repeat spraying every few days as the moths lay their eggs before the new leaves appear.
After two years of unprecedented rainfall we have barely had a drop since July this year so yesterday the water tanker paid us a visit to top up our swimming pool. We can no longer risk using our bore water (well water) because we would rather save this for our garden and as we are not connected to the mains water supply, we must prepare for this dry spell to continue.
Ok, this is all well and good but what has been baking this week? As my father in law has an orange tree that just seems to keep on fruiting, I thought I would make something using his fresh oranges so I baked a Sticky Orange and Vanilla Upside-down Cake - yum!
Now, turn it out and there's the surprise!
This recipe came from this website - http://foodforfour.com/2010/04/the-cookbook-challenge-week-20-sticky-orange-and-vanilla-upside-down-cake/comment-page-1/
Until next time,
Enjoy yourselves! : )
