Fabergé Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Our first egg arrived today. Unfortunately I was at work but when my in-laws came over, they let the girls out, looked in the nest box and found an egg! I'm gutted that I didn't find it first though.... It was probably Margaux as she's been crouching for a about a week although Petrus is also now crouching so I think she'll be next. Am I still allowed to do the chicken dance?

Janty Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 My Dad kept looking in the egg box before our girls laid. I was paranoid that he would find the first egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 What a shame they didn't pretend they hadn't noticed it . Obviously chickenless people don't realise the importance of the first egg . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Did they photograph it in the nestbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Did they photograph it in the nestbox. Unfortunately not I took a picture of it myself when I got home (in the kitchen) for posterity. We're going to have for breakfast.

little chickadee Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 we're going away for a couple of days before Christmas and I'm really paranoid the chicken sitters are going to find the first egg! Hopefully Dave will start before we're off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call it S**'s Law I believe. Maybe Dave will oblige before you go away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Congratulations! Its a bit annoying that your inlaws found it I personly wouldn't have said anything and let you find it. Never mind, just don't give them any eggs as revenge. Good luck with your other girlies! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabergé Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 I can't really tell them off as they come around to help us with the gardening when we're at work & let the girls free-range whilst they're here. And they have been almost as excited as us about the first egg so I don't feel too put out (well, maybe just a little) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
