Bluebelle Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Heard an almighty clucking and squawking from the girls this morning, and met Mrs Mcginty (the bossier Bluebelle) exiting the Eglu.....having laid her first egg! Only 2 weeks to the day since we got them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebelle Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Well, the bossy Bluebelle who laid today is Mrs McGinty, and my children are meant to be naming the others-but keep coming out with nonsense like KFC and 'Chicken' (courtesy of my 4 year old!)

Seagazer Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Congratulations - I let my kids name these chickens. Never again I like Flo's name though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebelle Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Another egg from Mrs McGinty today...AND one from one of the too! It was 53g, not bad for a first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Congratulations on your first egg, the chickens do need names. It is interesting the names children come up with, I thought about letting my four year old grandaughter name one when we get some new additions but her suggestion was 'Chicken Pox' Maybe I will involve her in choosing the chicken rather than its name.
