Steve. Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 This is Betty's first Egg. And she looked a bit shocked by it all ... as I was too!!! 45 grams according to my electronic scales. "Ooops, word censored!"ody told me how lovely and warm they are when they come out No cleaning or anything required - that's how it was delivered. Now my other 4 chickens have to pull their socks up and get laying. I was surprised as I thought Wilma would be first as she is the biggest. Looking at all the comb's and wattles, Betty's is the reddest, the other's are still slightly pink. Quite excited - taste test tomorrow! The neighbours probably think I am potty as I thanked Betty for the egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spratly0 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 isn't it fab! What a beauty. We got our girls the same day as you and we got our first egg today too from our lovely pepperpot Ursula. A little smaller at 40g but perfectly formed! I love my hens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve. Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 What a fab egg. It looks quite dark, what breed is Betty? How will you eat it? Betty is a Miss Pepperpot. I thought it looked dark too. Probably fried - is that a good choice? Haven't had a chance to scoff it due to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in the nesting box this morning, I shall have a look when they have finished laying Wow congratulations! How to you know they are finished laying? Betty was just standing there looking rather shocked by it all and needed a gently helping hand about 5 mins later into the main part of the coop.
