Really eggcited :!:

 

This morning we had our first two egg day.

 

Ebony has been laying for two weeks now, a total of eleven eggs varying in size from 43.5g to a big 75.7g, she insists on laying them on the bars at the back of the eglu :?

 

Henny Penny having recovered from Ebony pecking her, drawing blood and pulling feathers laid her first egg (39.1g) yesterday but no egg from Ebony :(

 

BUT today Henny Penny laid a 41.6g egg in the nest box and then shortly after Ebony laid on the bars :D:D:D

 

It is so eggciting to find an egg :D even better to find two :o

 

A big thank you to everyone on the forum for all their help and information :!:

This is my THIRD two egg day - so much fun!

 

Slight problem is that Caroline lays at about 6.45-7.15am which is EXACTLY the time that I normally let them out into the run for 20 minutes while I just give everything a quick tidy up and brush down the roosting bars before I go to work. As Caroline gets SO vocal - I just have to leave everything as it is.

 

That means that when Edwina lays at 11.30 the trays haven't been emptied of poo and the bars are still messy and the straw is all flung about. (I do manage to extract the earlier egg on the way out the door) Suppose they don't mind the mess, but I do!

 

I get them up at 6.00am (just as we take the dogs out) and they tottle off to bed at 8.00pm - I have to add about 5 minutes every night - last week it was 7.30ish
