Yayyyyy!

It started off with half an hour of Cheyenne whizzing around - we thought she was after the blue tits that were investigating a nesting box. She kept running in the cube and out again, doing laps around the cube and run. Checking out behind the dust bath (out shot a wren). Then no sign of her at all. OH went to look and found her in the cube in the nesting box. Could it be??? :pray: 5 minutes later one enormous egg - 2 ounces! It is bigger than the other girls - must have been a big ouch for a first timer. :dance:

So at last she has made it. She got lots of mealworms as a treat - and instead of her running off, I actually stroked her - and then she ran off! :roll:

Happy New Year everyone and congrats to all other newbie layers mums.

Thankies all. Apache laid one later on and it is dwarfed by Cheyennes one! First time we've had 2 eggs on the same day for weeks making a grand total of 84 since they started. We are well impressed with the girls - being breeds we didn't expect as many as that! OH never liked eggs - but he loves his omlettes now - you should have heard him complaining when the girls production slowed down!
