Introducing....

...the glorious Honoria.

(Then greedy Gertie came waddling over in case there were any snacks involved...)

Honoria is a lovely addition to our little flock and more importantly a very reliable egg layer.  Being plain and brown, she is able to give all her attention to the whole egg thing, whereas Gertrude, Araminta and Margot are very pretty but seem to have a rather more relaxed view of proceedings which makes for annoyingly unreliable eggs.

Hence the need for a more sensible bird.  She is named after one of P G Woodhouse's characters, Honoria Glossop, (I can recommend his books for a good laugh) and she has already laid three lovely speckledy eggs in the five days I've had her: fab.

Sadly Honoria's bottom is a little large for the saucepan nest so I decided new digs were required.  A few hours of my best bidging and bodging and hey presto, voila, I present you the Eggstension.

It is obviously extremely high quality carpentry....
