I've got my first...and today we got two eggs! *updated*

Recommended Posts

I've got my first egg this morning!!!

 

:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

 

:lol:

 

As you can tell I'm very happy! :D I did the chicken dance around the garden, shouted Mr TL to come and look, then danced around the house!!!

 

:dance::dance::dance:

 

It weighed 42g - small, but perfectly formed!

I have an inkling it was Mabel who laid it, but all three had gone in the eglu together so it is hard to say! I thought it was a trick egg at first :roll: I can't believe how clever my girls are :clap::clap::clap: but I've told them they are and they'll get an extra treat today :P

Thanks everyone! :lol:

 

I think i've managed to tell the whole world today :lol: about our egg! Alex, our next door neighbour (aged 6!) didn't believe me at first! He loves our girls and was really excited! :)

 

I didn't get a warm egg - they all had been in the eglu once, came out and there was nothing there when I checked... I left them to it for a while and when I checked they were all out and that's when I discovered it!!! I didn't mind it wasn't warm though!

 

I just can't wait for a 2 egg day :wink: and 3 egg :wink::dance::wink: will be even better!

 

I'm hoping it won't be long as they have been in the nestbox again today, so I think another one is having a practice!

I wonder who's it was

 

I know... :? I think it was Mabel... but I asked them and Rosie was very vocal :lol::lol: so maybe it was her :?:

 

Mabel is the most developed (biggest, reddest comb), but Rosie has been going in the nestbox daily for a week or so... The plot thickens! :shock::roll::wink:

hmmm!! :think: well as soon as you catch one thats just laid you'll be able to see what colour/shape etc egg they lay and try to decipher who's this was... or you may never know.. :lol:

 

I am lucky having two one lays cream one lays light beigy brown eggs.. :lol: Sugar laid a 72g cream egg this morning and I didn't even hear her make a noise! :lol:

I think Rosie and Mabel's will be similar, Betty being a Bluebelle maybe will have a different colour? With them all being hybrids, it's hard to say... You are lucky knowing who has laid! :wink:

 

None of mine made a noise today either! :shock: No crowing, nothing! But Rosie was very vocal (they are all quiet chooks :shock: usually!) and I did wonder could it be her, but Mabel was in as well... hmmm :lol:

Well I think Sunday and Monday were Mabel's eggs ... Monday night Rosie was trying to lay :? before going to bed... she was in and out of the nestbox before I went to work today... tonight I came home and there was two beautiful eggs - one weighed 50g one weighed 54g. Not bad :wink: considering!

 

I am so proud of my girls :clap::clap::clap: They are so clever :)

 

Now I need my beautiful Betty to start to lay and we will have a

hat-trick :wink:

 

The pecking issue has certainly settled down as well, so I am really happy now :D
