Janty Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Popcorn, our first pekin who was bullied by the big girls and lived in our conservatory all those months ago has laid her first egg. She was behaving very strangely today, shouting more than usual and running up and down the garden. Then, as I was trying to persuade my friend to buy an eglu, we saw Popcorn sitting inside the nesting box. About an hour later, she produced a beautiful 30g egg. My friend is now sold on pekins.

superjules Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Aw, how fabulous. Congratulations! We had our first pekin egg on Sunday - it too was 30g! DD had it boiled for breakfast as Yum-yum is her hen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well done that hen! (Well, OK, she's still technically a pullet, but you know what I mean). They do lay very cute little eggs, don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
