Fur 'n' Feathers Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) Got home this evening and ..... there ...in the middle of the run on the grass ...... was a perfectly formed 36g beige egg We think it's Krasi's because it's beige and because her vent had a very slight stain of poo around it as if something large had passed through Well done Krasi Edited April 24, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fur 'n' Feathers Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 No disrespect Krasi, but it didn't last long.... Fur's just eaten it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fur 'n' Feathers Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just been out to the girls. No egg in the run, but.... an egg in the nest Identical to yesterday's but 1g more Assume it's Krasi again. Well done The egg was cold but still moist where it was in contact with the straw. The wooden egg in the nest overnight idea obviously did the trick. Took it out this morning when we let them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fur 'n' Feathers Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Another egg today. This one was 59g!!! The layer is obviously warmed up now. Only thing is we're not so sure it's Krasi after all. The eggs are beige. Whilst all the hens are crouching it is MISO who really does this in an exagerated form, with her wings and tail held up & outwards. Also, her vent is very actively moving (like a Les Dawson character's mouth ) while the others are just contracting a little. Is it more likely that it is her?

Snowy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Only one way to find out - you have to go on eglu watch! Not the best thing to do if it's raining, but needs must ..... 1 Day off work 2 Garden chair 3 Rain coat and umberella 4 Regular supply of tea 5 Sit by eglu all day. We've all done it!

Fur 'n' Feathers Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Is it possible to swap the tea for two glasses of Ouzo, or Metaxa, possibly? Or will this impair the results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how much you've had and whether you can still count the hens going in and out of the eglu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
