Single hen

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.............

[Guest]

Perfect Easter present, Lesley!

[AnnieP]

Fantastic!

[Cate in NZ]

Well done that duck..... what a marvellous Easter egg, so much nicer than chocolate

Sounds like they're settling in well then

[Lesley]

They are - they managed to take themselves into the Eglu last night and come out again this morning

[AnnieP]

Ducks with brains??

[Nicola H]

Congratulations Lesley and Carl what a lovely Easter pressie........

[Paola]

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!).

[AnnieP]

Aahh! Well we're out to lunch, so that will be nice!... MIght even abandon the car and walk back from the pub (hic )

[Mrs Frugal]

Oh bless her, that's the nicest present ever!! Congratulations Lesley!!

[Popcorn]

Lovely Lesley

 

Did you manage to get something on underneath that coat though

[Lesley]

er........... just a pair of pink wellie clogs

[Popcorn]

You trend setter you

[chocchick]

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

[Lesley-Jean]

Fabulous I love duck eggs

[Martin B]

What a lovely present! Congratulations ducks! What are there names, I never found out!

[Martin B]

Yer of coure I know Robin Williams!

[motherhen]

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

[Sheilaz]

Congratulations, Lesley, that's great news. What an unexpected start to the day. Don't catch cold, dear!

[Trish]

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

[Lesley]

you may be asked to appear on next year NFU calendar

 

They'll have to have the full length one showing the pink wellie clogs as well then

 

I used to work for the NFU Insurance Society H.O.

[Hellcat]

How lovely. I love duck eggs!

[buffie]

Oh lovely, never had one so what does it taste like

BBx

[Lesley]

We haven't eaten it yet - and we had another this morning

 

...and i have 2 grandchildren here today - so I'll never get to taste it.

 

They are obviously lucky eggs - see my other topic!
