Tara123 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) Our first egg arrived today and I'm pretty sure it came from daisy as she has been going in and out of her house for the last couple of days and making lots of sweet little noises. I'm so proud of her as it is perfect for her first egg I know, I need to get a better camera!! Now what do I do with one tiny bantam egg?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Congratulations . I'm always amazed at how perfect their eggs are - they really are clever little creatures aren't they . How big is a bantam egg? Do you have to eat 2 at a time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara123 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 How big is a bantam egg? Do you have to eat 2 at a time I'd say its about half the size of a chicken egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Aww, they must look cute . Do you have to have special eggcups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara123 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Do you have to have special eggcups? I don't think the soldiers would fit into them even if I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara123 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 WOW egg number 2 has just arrived and is still very warm. Its a bit smaller than the first one but its still perfect. Now I have 2 for my tea tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Two first eggs on the same day - lucky you . (I love it when they're warm - I insist on putting them against any bare skin my boys happen to have uncovered ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyren Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 How big is a bantam egg? Do you have to eat 2 at a time . Mine are about 40g, which is 2/3 a medium egg. They make very cute little fried/poached eggs for breakfast! Also, they have less white than standard eggs, so scrambled eggs, etc are always bright buttercup yellow On the downside, they are probably proportionally higher in fat, but they're so yummy, I don't care!

Tara123 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) Well you'll never guess what I've just found!? Egg number 3 Poppy was making lots of loud noises and running in and out of her house, up and down the run and low and behold number 3 arrived shortly afterwards. I am absolutely over the moon with them for given me 3 eggs in one day And its all there first time too Edited February 7, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
