umbrella thursday Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I haven't been on here for a while but so excited to post this. This morning, our girls were in their run waiting for me to take out their porridge when an almighty squawking arose. It was so loud I wondered if it was our girls as I've never heard them this loud before. I went out in case a cat or fox was worrying them (although never had problems with this yet) and Mop, our gold laced wyandotte was sort of squatting on the run floor. When I opened the egg port, lo and behold, a tiny creamy egg. Cue great excitement in our household. And then, when I got home, another one. A tiny peachy coloured one, must have been one of our pekins. What are the chances of two coming into lay on the same day. I am so proud of our lovely girls.

Cooks Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 both my girls laid their first egg on the same day, it's great isn't it! I dont think they like to be left out of the excitement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbrella thursday Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Yes it's so great. It's quite pathetic how excited I actually am. Phoned husband on his way to work and he was really jealous he'd been out when I found it. I've had to save them both for him to inspect when he comes home. Just waiting for the other two to start now ... I love keeping hens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 yes I had to keep mine for inpsections aswell we weigh all ours aswell. My youngest son's hen Cocoa managed to lay when he was at home this morning, so he collected a warm egg, he was thrilled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
