Egg Lou Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I know this is old hat to everyone.. but we have just had our first egg after picking up the girls 24hrs ago! DD's hen so rather excited! Was very sweet as Beanz had "rounded up" the 2 fake eggs I had put in nest then laid hers with them.. I have now removed all as don't want a broody this quick! DD and I did the egg dance and heard next door laughing DD insisted I took photo and put on here.. I must must must stop taking so many photos!!

Chickvic Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Congrats! You didn't have long to wait! It's always eggciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Don't stop taking the photos whatever you do! Lovely egg, so that is what a pied suffolk egg looks like! My PS Spice has been with us 4 weeks and not produced yet. In fact she is still acting like a scatty teenager despite her nice red comb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 First eggs are never old hat . Congratulations, it looks lovely . Love the idea of the neighbours laughing . I think your egg looks the same colour as Molly's, my Pied Suffolk (they're the palest ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraJ Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Congrats you didn't wait long at all! My pied suffolk lays eggs like that and are still only about 50g! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMS Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Congratulations. Our first egg was laid three weeks ago and I'm still excited every time I find an egg in the nesting box (or behind a flowerpot in the garden!) Ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Lou Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Oh pleased you didn't think we were too mad then DD ate the egg this evening .. it looked lovely.. so nice seeing a really freash egg as looks so different!
