*mummy_hen* Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Morning 5......just checked the nest box out of routine, just in case although none of them have used it for egg laying and there was an EGG!!! Wohooo! Clever girl whoever laid it in there, right next to the fake one, we might have them all in there tomorrow now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbey Road Girl Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Brilliant, isn't it? Supermarket eggs just can't compare with our girls' little miracles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*mummy_hen* Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 I'm pretty sure it was Thelma as she went up into the house which she doesn't normaly do in the day and i saw her go in there, wasn't in there long, then came out. All my chickens are silent layers though so give nothing away....i'm sure they do it to try and trick me ("hmmmm...where shall we hide them today!!") Hehe! I agree - i didn't think it was possible to get so excited over eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Congratulations! There's obviously plenty of life left in the ex-batts, and it hasn't taken them long to settle. I don't think I'll ever not be excited when I collect an egg I know I didn't lay them but I feel I have contributed in some small way.

*mummy_hen* Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 It appears so, if they never laid an egg i wouldn't have cared as love to bits, but must admit i do love having our own fresh eggs from them each day I'm amazed at their intelligence, although have since found out they are as clever an monkeys....maybe that's why they act like little monkeys most of the time!!
