Nicola O Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Came home today to find a small pale green egg laying in the run !! Dora, one of the skylines, was looking subdued this morning so I was hoping she was brewing one up - and here it is, her first green egg !! It's a bit small but - who cares - I still think it's pretty blimin' brill. Apologies for the grainy picture, but it's the best my camera phone can do close up. Nicola. really happy with a lovely green egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 fabulous! Like I said on a previous green egg thread the colour really reminds me of that ever so expensive tinned paint for posh houses! Very classy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjules Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 How wonderful - you must be dead chuffed! Our local poultry centre is struggling to get columbines at the mo so I'll just have to paint mine. At least I know where to get the right colour!

Phosphorus Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Wow that is lovely. I really want a skyline. Where did you get your skyline from (I am in Billericay Essex), am presuming it will be local. I was going to get one from Hens4Homes but they will not be available until May. Lovely egg. Can't wait for chooks Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola O Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hi Andrea I got the new chooks from Smilers Farm in Pound Lane, Bowers Gifford, Basildon, The lady I saw (I can't remember her name - sorry) was really nice, showed me all the birds, even the ones that she thought wouldn't be suitable, and helped me make a decision, because left on my own I probably would have taken one of everything . I have got their number somewhere, I'll post back on here when I can find it . Nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Thanks Nicola, didn't even realise there was a breeder in Bowers Gifford Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola O Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hi Andrea, I'm back again. The number for Smilers Farm is 01268 727627. I had a second green egg today , this time in the nest so Dora must be getting the hang of it now . Nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Thanks Nicola, I will wait and see what the breeder at Hens4Homes says about timing. We are thinking at the moment that we might wait until middle of April anyway to get the hens. Cube is due by end of March but we then are away for four days in April seems like it might be easier to wait until afterwards rather than get the neighbours to chicken sit Wish we weren't going away now Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
