newlaidegg Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Not only did Gladys lay me an egg but it is a delightful shade of pistachio!!!!!! Suddenly the eggs with no shell are a distant memory! Three eggs in a day - it's a miracle (Quiche for supper) Hurrrrrrraaahhhhhhhhhh for chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktdot Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yey! It doesn't matter how long you've had them, every egg is exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 how She must have been practising on those soft shelled eggs! Here's wishing you many more hard shelled green eggs in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Well done that chook! Just for the record, did you do anything different to her diet to encourage hard shells? Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlaidegg Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks guys, for the record I didn't get around to doing anything different with the chooks, Gladys just suddenly seemed to find her own way! I promise that I will learn how to upload my camera one day... soon...maybe... and that the first picture I will post will be here. I have decided that pistachio is a less than accurate description of Gladys' eggs more Farrow and Ball, Cooking Apple Green!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Is yours this kind of green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 thats a very classy green! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Why thank you (on Maisie's behalf)! You made complimentary remarks about Maisie's eggs when she first laid .... Its a lovely colour,....reminds me of some of that very expensive tinned paint you can buy and ususally see in Manor houses/stately homes and which would have a very posh name! Farrow and Ball paint? it's a perfect description Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I think it would look quite nice in my kitchen! wonder what B & Q would do if you took maisie's egg in and said "match this"?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlaidegg Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 the sad thing is, I did have a kitchen that colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlaidegg Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 p.s. It does look suspiciously similar in colour to yours although I'd need a paint chart to be absolutely sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
