Exciting day.

Recommended Posts

I am sorry for complaining about my none productive hens. They have been playing with me :oops:

Today my hen Mimi laid my first green egg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How smart is that? I also found out that it was Kiev that had laid our first, and now daily egg. I heard the most almighty bok bok BOK!!!!!!!!!! and there was the biggest egg I have ever seen laid by a hen. It was 82gs. The previous one was 52. Poor Kiev, it must have hurt her. I now have 3 beautiful eggs lined up. My clever chickens have done me proud :lol: They all had to be taken to my daughters to view the miracles.

Can I join the 8) club too, please, please :lol: ?

 

Our green eggs have definitely changed colour - they started off slightly sludgey green but since 3 softies and a mega freak egg (87g :shock: ) they're a much nicer, gentler green. You can see the difference here - the large egg is the old colour. Can't wait till I get my blue egg layer at Easter :D .

Kiev laid today. I now have 3 good girls working hard for me!

Ouch! Makes your eyes water, just looking at that monster egg! :lol:

 

The green one is very nice - maybe one day I will get a proper Araucana, not a cross-breed without the blue gene :evil:

 

I certainly makes my eyes water :shock:

My green egg layer is a hybrid. I thought I would get sludge green eggs first, but it is a lovely soft minty green. I don`t want to eat it it is so pretty.

 

What a great range of colours Vikki. The big egg really stands out! I am sure you said your hen lays every day, is that right?

 

Of course you can join the club :wink: I want a blue egg layer s well. I wonder if I can track down a breeder my way?

She laid for 37 days on the trot, then laid 3 softies, one mega egg and now seems to be back to normal :) . I thought it was unusual, but I've since seen a few people saying their hens lay every single day.

 

BTW, I'm glad you're getting lots of eggs now :D .

 

Congratulations on your lovely eggs :D:D:D

 

Ain't "Ooops, word censored!"ody Here were did you get your egg rack from? I've been wanting one like that for ages but can't find them anywhere :(

 

Thanks, Tara123 - you're very kind :D

 

Here's a thread about the egg skelter - http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18662. There's been a bit of a run on them thanks to Omleteers :) . They're made by a forum member called Freddie. You'll find a post from her on page 9 - you can pm her to order one.

I am glad Tara asked that. I thought it was a great idea, and my daughter loves it!

Wow, that's a mega egg. I wonder if it will be a double yolker :?:

 

I'm still witing for my green/blue eggs... :roll::cry:

 

I am wondering what is a worthy thing for me to crack it open for. I might have poached egg on toast for my lunch tomorrow :wink:

I am sure you will be getting green/blue eggs soon!
