Angels4 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 In the nest box...Our first egg Jake (the youngest) Holding onto the first egg. And not only our first egg, but also a wonderful suprise A DOUBLE YOLKER...Clever girls. And soooooooooo tasty I know the first egg is usually small (and this one was) BUT it was perfectly formed and had a nice strong shell. Also the the two oldest girls, Clairee and M'Lynn are making quite the racket lately they seem to be very proud.) Could this have something to do with the start of laying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels4 Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Great news! Hope you did the egg dance - it isn't done enough in the US Egg Dance? If the egg dance includes lots of jumping up and down whilst saying over and over "I've got an egg, I've got an egg! I did, or maybe that is just the US version.

Cate in NZ Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Jake looks like a really cheeky little chap, and so pleased with that first egg . And a double yolker too..Wow...what a bonus for the first egg. Hopefully there'll be loads more like that to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the egg dance includes lots of jumping up and down whilst saying over and over "I've got an egg, I've got an egg! I did, or maybe that is just the US version. That sounds exactly right! (I still do it when any of my new chickens lays for the first time ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels4 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 I know the eggs start out small and get larger as the girls get used to laying, but how long does it generally take? Since our first egg we have had two others and they seem quite small almost bantam size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
