Guest Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Well I'm glad I did take my eyes off the nesting box as this morning when I went to let the girls out there on the roosting bars was a small yet perfectly formed egg (54g). I'm such a proud chicken Mummy!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I have just gone outside to find out where Ginger was as Myrtle was roaming around by herself. And I heard alot of noise coming from the eglu. Well you have proably guessed by now but I thought that she was behind the eglu not in it and just being her loud normal self. Anyway she ran outside and and was covered in paper shreddings from the nesting box, i looked inside and there was a little egg. I didn't think she was going to start laying yet as her comb and wattle are not fully grown. Two eggs in one day after over a month with nothing. Can't be bad hey!

ktdot Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Brill! It's great isn't it? One of mine was already laying when we got her but it's taken 11 long weeks of waiting for my first 3 egg day! Now they are starting to pile up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I know theres a post somewhere on this forum that tells you all the picture codes but I cant find it nor can I remember what the code is for an egg. Can anybody tell me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
