Home-builder's hen producing good eggs? (10)
I believe the answer is:
bricklayer
'good eggs?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'home-builder's hen' is the wordplay.
'home builder's' becomes 'brick' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hen' becomes 'layer' (something which lays - eggs in this case).
'brick'+'layer'='BRICKLAYER'
'producing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bricklayer that I've seen before include "Labourer" , "Builder of 36 ac" , "Wall builder" , "Construction worker" , "worker in bonds" .)
