Today is Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday. It's the last day before the Christian festival Lent. 
Traditionally Christian's ate pancakes on Shrove Tuesday because this is the last chance to indulge and use up any foods that were forbidden during Lent; such as fat, butter and EGGS! So don't beat yourselves up, just get battered and enjoy an evening where you really can express your flipping skills; and show your friends what a professional tosser you really are!
Eggs are one of the best protein sources around. One egg contains 5.5g protein, over 10% of your daily needs.
The onslaught of snow brought chaos into the hen house this month, leaving Aubrey with no choice other than to send Minnie out to check the conditions whilst he waited in the wings. She soon gave the all clear for him and his harem. Billy and Mandy however decided it was far too cold, so decided to stay perched for the day. They said: "We're used to central heating you know, it's just not on".
Richard Smith, 30 something of temporary address - after suspicious fire at his penthouse apartment in trendy city centre Manchester, cracked under egg boycotting allegations last month and admitted "I've got a new supplier, it's not my fault, blame Mark!" He tried to make light of his comments adding "the yolks are good, but not as good as Henriettas".
In respect of the US electing a new President, the girls thought it was time that they voted in a new spokes-hen themselves, and Josie received her augmentation earlier this month. Taking up office (in a plant pot), the girls gathered round, but only Fanny Mae paid any attention to her policies. The pot was quite comfty.
Aubrey got himself into a flap this week over rumours to oust him from the hen house following his repetitive dusky dawn chorus. News of the plans leaked out to the Doodle Do Gooder and sent a wave of worry to the early morning caller who shared his concerns with head honsho Henrietta, who, after much listening said "that's life that is, think on".
