Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

Oh! What an exciting day!! !!

 

Just been out to have a peek in the egg port & there it was!!! An egg!! I had to do a double take... all I've been greeted with before now has been a pile of poo and the odd feather!

 

It's our first one since we got our girls 2 weeks ago... small- 40g but perfectly formed. I think it belongs to Betty because she's been crouching for the past week, although her wattles & comb are no where near as developed as Audrey's, who has shown no sign of crouching. It's the wrong colour to belong to the other suspects... Hilda the araucana is very red of face & crouchy at the moment so I don't think she'll be far behind... not sure I can stand the excitement!

Congratlualtions!

Did you do the egg dance?

[Groovychook]

Oh- I have done a spectacular egg dance!!!

 

... Because, Hilda has laid me a perfect little blue egg today! It only weighs 34g but it's so beautiful!

 

Betty has laid an egg a day since her first one and then today, I was giving the cube a good clean & changed all the hemcore in the run & Hilda was going banana's! I didn't think much of it because both the araucana's are so chatty anyway but when I finally let them back in, Hilda bombed past me, went straight up the ladder & into the nest box where she remained for the next couple of hours. After much shuffling about, she finally emerged leaving the perfect little behind!

 

Two eggs in one day! I need to go & lie down in a darkened room!

Think it's going to be tiny omelets for tea!
