Eggs !
6 Answers
I heard on a TV programme today that eggs were scarce during the summer months of WW2 because ' chickens only lay eggs in the summer.'
Is this true of chickens in their natural state ?
If so, then how does that equate with organic/ free range chickens, who, I assume, receive no artificial aid from humans.
