mrs chook Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'm sooooo excited went up to let the girls out to freerange and cassie one of our newbies has done her first crouch . She, along with Margot has been getting increasingly 'gobby' over the last few days too, definitely maturing I think We have had them since 14 weeks and now nearly 10 wks later I think we're getting there. Just need to make sure I get their eggs before bertha and prissy eat them when all out together. They have become yolk addicts, even chipped the paint of the ceramic egg with their persistence. Hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 It is exciting when they begin to crouch, maybe a week or so and you will have EGGS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsallen08 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Eggciting! Sorry couldnt resist! Have you tried filling a blown egg with mustard? May need to just get one at the ready if they are likely to be egg-eaters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs chook Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Not as yet, but earlier I just went up to the run and she crouched down inside the run straight away - I must be an intimidating sight! Hoping for a weekend eggy will let you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townie Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Mrs Chook, I'm watching with interest! I know how it feels (almost) as we are still waiting for 'gold' after 5 weeks. Fingers are crossed for you and your croucher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
