we have an egg!

Recommended Posts

First egg arrived today, light brown, so given our girls (blackrock, bluebelle & light sussex) I guess it could be anyones. The Bluebelle & Blackrock are now 21 weeks and the light sussex is 25 weeks and was apparently laying just under 3 weeks ago when we got her - so she looks most likely, but I thought her were supposed to be cream to light brown?

 

Anyway it weighed in at 49g - not huge, but a great surprise - the ritual of daily checking and nothing for almost three weeks had got to the point were each day we looked not expecting anything.

 

Now it the question of what you do with the first egg.

Congratulations! Isn't it amazing to see something so perfect just lying there in the nest. It's so exciting,checking the next box,I still do a double take when there's one there.Tuesday was our first 2 egg day and today was the same.When we picked up the 2nd egg it was still warm ahh! Such clever girls. :D:D

I am now being optomistic - thinking we may have one each (3) by the weekend, so we will save the first egg until we have three (assuming it is not a one-off!). Daughter thinks she should be allowed to eat the first egg - though I have reminded her the hens were MY birthday present not hers, so technically all eggs are mine!
