ubereglu Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Silly hen, at least she's laying now. On a plus side, my silly hen Spice actually laid her egg in the nestbox today! (It's the fifth one she laid) The first one was under the hedge. The second in the middle of the run. The third at the entrance to the run. The fourth just outside the eglu door as she'd gone into the nestbox and laid it straight afterwards. AND TODAY she laid in the nestbox-it was a massive egg!

TAJ Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Look on the bright side she was born with the same amount of eggs inside her whatever age she started laying - so hopefully she will be laying now to a ripe old age! Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
