ruth1 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Came home today to find a lovely little blue egg in the nestbox beside Esme's daily offering. Had a little jump up and down with excitement and then had to ask the girls the question 'right which one of you two laid it? guess Ill need to watch the nest box to see who goes in, because neither of the two suspects are visibly crouching. Ive admired it a few times already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 How lovely . I was hoping for from Maisie but got (which I love, really!). I was toying with getting a layer a while ago but was scared to rock my girls' happy little boat . Got a photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Keep the shell of the first blue or green egg as I found that the colours changed slightly over the first few weeks and it was interesting to see.....Freja laid a bluey green egg as her first and they steadily turned green, whereas Britta's blue ones stayed just the same....
