Calvados,Football,and Two Eggs

Today we had two eggs,another hen has laid it's first egg,I spoke to farmer joe this morning,on his return from holiday,and he had read on the blog about Audrey the first hen to lay,we have had good advice from Mrs farmer joe too.
Football last night,Holland were outplayed by the Russki's,and tonight will be the game where I will be rooting for Italy,whereas all previous games I have enjoyed from a neutral standpoint,I have not phoned Le Blade,because I am allowing Madame Le Blade time to get over the defeat of Holland,she has some Dutch ancestry so is probably a little upset.
Montana is now ensconced in his Whitefish retreat,after a two day journey,so we shall be getting reports of his activities,he will probably be out tonight at Caseys Bar,a rather genteel establishment,according to the Whitefish Police Report!
I have tried the Calvados(french apple brandy)which Monseur Le Boffin kindly brought me back from his trip to Normandy,it is very good sprinkled on French apple tart,which I first tasted in Boulogne,and Sheila made it on a few occasions,so if she can remember the recipe I will supply the calvados,this tart is made with dessert apples not cookers.

No Casey's just yet. Maybe later.

Do hens start laying eggs when they get a certain age? And will you get more than one egg a day from a hen? And...will they lay hens year round?
