Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[blackgold]

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......

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.

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 )

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

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?
