batty hen Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Bodicea laid her first egg last night! I suddenly noticed she had adopted a very strange stance on the lawn with her tail cocked down. She was frozen to the spot. Our labrador Marmite was very concerned about her. She then tottered off to under a bush and resumed her stance, with Marmite in friendly pursuit. We picked her up and popped her into the next box in the cube(not sure if this was right). Anyway half an hour later there it was. It was a softie but after reading this forum I thought that was OK for the first time. Oh we are so proud of her. Hurrah for Bodicea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Well done Bodicea, what a clever girl . I'm sure you'll get a proper egg tomorrow or the next day . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batty hen Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Quick update. The next day produced another softie but on Saturday we had the first proper egg - laid in the nest box too. Had another yesterday, can't wait to get home tonight! Clarissa has now also started to crouch so it won't be long before she joins in.
