louise C Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I have had my Lottie since November 8th. She has finally today, after 14 and a half weeks, laid her very first egg!! I am so chuffed! My other hen, Matilda (she also arrived on 8/11/05) laid her first egg 5 weeks ago. Everyone says how wonderful the eggs are, I can vouch for that now! I am going to have Lottie's egg tomorrow! How exciting!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Fantastic!! How are you going to eat it? Boiled? Poached? Fried or my favourite, scrambled ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louise C Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hi Kate! I've just realised I posted this to the nesting box! Should I have posted it to 'Chickens' I am going to have a fried egg on toast! Lovely I had Matilda's first egg fried so I think Lotties should have the same star treatment!

Popcorn Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Congratulations Louise and well done Lottie. There's no other feeling like the first egg feeling. Clare will be along shortly Louise to show you the 'first egg dance!' Reading this thread this morning has broken my dream. I was having a tidy up yesterday and wiped over louise's (our chicken) first egg and it must have been on my mind when I went to bed. In my dream I picked the (yolkless) egg up to clean and dropped it. It smashed. Maybe it's a combination of Laura's mug incident too - how bizarre! Good job it was just a dream. Egg still ok in real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Phew! Well done Lottie, what a clever chicken. How nice your whole "flock" is producing eggs now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Brilliant news!! Even though the first egg is egg-citing the feeling never disappears however many chooks you have and however many eggs you get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
