ChirpyChirpyCheepCheep Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hello everyone Just wanted to tell everyone that we got our first egg today! Came home from shopping let the girls out. Opened the nesting box door and there it was. . . Staring back at me. It looks soo cute. I'm going with Ronnie laying it as she has been doing all the crouching down stuff a lot lately. Thanks for listening. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo&Fudge Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hi It's fab isn't it! We had to smile today. Our girls were out free ranging and Fifi suddenly came rushing back to the Eglu and sat on the nest clucking, 15 minutes later a lovely fresh egg! It was weighed, yes we are sad as well, 50g.

ChirpyChirpyCheepCheep Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Thanks for all your posts. I did not think I would be getting sooo excited about eggs! I have always wanted to keep pet chickens. To start receiving gifts of eggs is a bonus. Clootie, you do make me lol. . . I think the sun is coming out!
