laurmurf Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Oh CONGRATULATIONS, Egluntine and WELL DONE to those Hogwarts girls! I do love the Fenton Blues - such clever girls to lay pretty eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 They are so pretty Egluntine - how lucky you are. A neighbour's little girl likes to buy our blue eggs - she calls them 'fairy eggs' after I told her that fairy magic makes them blue/green.. well she's too young for a proper explanation.

Egluntyne Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 They have scored a hat trick...another in the nestbox this afternoon. How amazing that three of them should start laying on the same day! I feel another photo coming on! The fairy magic theory is as good as any other I've heard.
