Sage's first egg!!!

Recommended Posts

Sage laid her first egg today! :clap:

 

Its not very big,weighs only 43g,but is perfectly formed and has a real thick shell.I let both her and Onion out of Eglu at usual time this morning (5.30am),took my dog for a walk and checked on my return,but alas-no egg.

 

I came home from work this afternoon and discovered a wonderful egg in the nest box! :D

Just gotta wait for Onion to start now! :lol:

When i cracked it for frying earlier (my poached eggs are often lousy,but i can fry the perfect egg!)-the shell was really thick and tough so shows they're getting plenty of calcium from the crushed oyster shells i give them.

 

Cant wait for tommorrows one!!! :D:D:D

Sage laid another egg today which was bigger than first and weighs 50g so they're getting better! :D

Curiously though,the shell looks different from yesterdays one and im sure Sage laid it because Onion is still too imature.Can the shells differ this much from one day to another?

mmmmm........puzzling :think::think:

 

when I saw yesterday's egg, I knew without reading who laid it.. (my pepperpot lays identical eggs) ........ not so sure about todays egg :?:?

 

They can alter a bit from day to day when they are getting the hang of things, but my Pepperpot has always laid darker eggs............a bit of an Egg Mystery I think :wink::D
