Cluckle Brother Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Has anyone had eggs yet from hens delivered from Omlet on or after the 28th March? I think our two are crouching, but i'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I wondered if I'd know when mine were crouching , but it's unmistakeable - you'll know. Mine have laid between 5 and 14 days after crouching ( Margo was the first to crouch and only started laying a couple of days ago - the rest overtook her ! ) hopefully you'll be getting eggs sonn.

I'm only getting an egg a day from the 2 remaining, but I shall increase the hen numbers at the end of May(Dont tell OH!!)- had to buy eggs this week -first time for ages. They've gone up a LOT in price since last time!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cluckle Brother Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Yippee! We've got our first eggs. We think Pippa laid one yesterday, it was very small, about 30 grams. This morning, petal walked back into the eglu, and about 15 minutes later we found an egg in the run, it is about 50 grams.
