Lesley Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Carl got up to let all the prisoners out and I watched from upstairs to see them all come out, then went to have a shower. Next thing - Carl burst into the bathroom shouting "come quick!" and dragged me out . I managed to grab the biggest coat I could see on my way past - thankfully, the neighbours are away. There it was - in the middle of the run - Mindy's first egg! and a nicer photo.............. of two unconcerned ducks wondering where this strange object had come from.............

Paola Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Best easter prezzie. Am in love with your ducks, even without there heads in the pic. Think may have to get another eglu and get some some ducks. Not sure what the huibbie will say!! Never forget my girls first egg. Felt quite emotional when I found it (how sad!).

chocchick Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Lets hope you were wearing big omlet pants too How cool even more exciting than a first chicken egg, or blue chicken egg, I'm so impressed especially since they seem a little on the dim side We need duck emoticons now, just for your ducks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherhen Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Ducks that can remember which day is Easter Sunday and arrange to produce their first egg then as a special present can't be that thick Congratulations Lesley, and a very glam photo - you may be asked to appear on next year NFU calendar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Great news what clever a duck. I was hoping Dotty might oblige but I'm begining to think she was younger than we thought when we got her. Still her comb is growing and getting darker so soon I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
