blackgold Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I was at the Omlet advanced course today and one of the caged bantam hens laid an egg... I have taken a couple of pictures and put them on my collie talk spaces... Cant wait for mine and Rozs chickens to start .... It was quite emotional as the hen turned around and gently pecked it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 How lovely. I never get to see my girls actually lay as they are always in the eglu. Glad you had a nice time on the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Lucky you . I've never actually seen an egg laid (but did put my hand in under a hen once and got a slightly sticky egg in my hand ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackgold Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 we were allowed to hold the egg and it wasnt sticky just very warm We were told that eggs should not be eaten the day they are laid as well. Forgot why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 we were allowed to hold the egg and it wasnt sticky just very warm We were told that eggs should not be eaten the day they are laid as well. Forgot why. I've often eaten an egg when its laid that morning Maybe that's why i'm strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 We've often eaten eggs while they're still warm (obviously after cooking them first!) Perhaps it was the rule about eggs being better for boiling after a few days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
