chocchick Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 One of T and S has laid their first egg!!!! It was on the lawn, in the open, in some mud and had probably been in the rain all night. Not broody then It is surprisingly large, much bigger than Beth's. I will post a picture after work tonight. T to me seems more upright and mature chicken shaped, and did a Beth squat with wings slightly out (as opposed to just sitting down which I though was a squat for months ) Susannah raced over to me on her own when I went towards it, but maybe she was after food? Can't really watch them to see who did it as busy at work all this week*, then away for weekend You'll have to watch out Phil the chicken........ * They're letting me educate young impressionable minds in undergraduate practicals-fools!
