quinlan Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 After a couple of sleepless nights nursing my sick 18 month old son and days with a bored 3 year old stuck at home I wnet out with a heavy heart to clean out my messy girls only to be stopped in my tracks by a beautiful little egg by the gate!!! A sight for sore and sleep eyes indeed!!! (and a happier older boy now who can have scrambled egg for his t!!) It is a tiny bit craced on the bottom but am assuming it will be ok as it's so fresh??? If not please can someone tell me before I poison my healthy child!!! Yay... am really chuffed! Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Yay 1st egg, very exciting , I'm sure it will be fine to eat straight away as it is only slightly cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Congratulations on the new eggs . I've often eaten slightly cracked eggs (I just fast track them and eat them first!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackgold Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I was told on a course this weekend that eggs must be 24 hours old before you eat them. cant remember why but i am sure some of the experts on here will say. Lucky you with your egg, nearly seven weeks and nothing...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinlan Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Woops, this was only a few hours old... Tasted good though! Fingers x you get one soon (bet you can't wait 24 hours before you eat it!!!!!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little jerry Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Brill, We got our first egg on Sunday and have now had 4 eggs. Every one has been eaten. 1 very small omlet egg fried rice They were great and were all alive and well. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bantambabe Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Congrats! We had our first egg today - only a tiddler as bantams have little bums . We're having a vote this evening as to how it gets cooked. So eggciting. Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
