CatsCube Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I noticed Dippy in and out of the house this morning, and just now when I went and fed them she squatted for me! yesterday her comb suddenly became all big and flopping over. she seems to have matured over night. Just waiting to see when that elusive first egg arrives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Oooh exciting, isn't it . One of my new girls has been doing the squatty dance over the last couple of days so I might be joining you in doing the egg dance soon. Have you been practising ??
