Valkyrie Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Sioux has had one long dry spell and stopped laying in December. Today she had the fidgets and eventually produced one small egg. Cheyenne already performed and her egg is huuuuge by comparison. Apache laid her last egg on the 2nd Jan and hasn't laid since. Just one to go then.

Chickvic Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Glad she's laying again. Still waiting for Ruby to start again after her moult - it's been 2 months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Cheyenne just did her first ever 2 eggs in one day! I didn't think it was possible, but it is definitely hers. Sioux's are a little less round and Apache's look like rugby balls - points at both ends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surferdog Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 She's making up for lost time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Definitely not a hinny and so won't be threatened with the chop any more. Perhaps I scared her! His Lordship so loves his costings and so far for this year we are now down to the grand sum of £9 per egg! We got as far as £5.12 last year. Now all I need is for them to all go broody!

surferdog Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 LOL! I haven't dared cost mine and I won't let the Man Who Didn't Want Chickens anywhere near a spreadsheet. We have a glut at the moment as Sylvie has started laying again and I haven't had time to bake. If you need a couple of 'plants' , without the giveaway lion mark, you're very welcome!

Valkyrie Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 I might just hold you to that - thanks! At the moment Sioux has laid a big one this morning - not quite as big as Annies, but big enough to fit into the holes in my little egg box. All the others went through the holes and only Annies fitted. I have had it in pride of place in the kitchen even before we had the girls and was really miffed when it still couldn't be used - until this year! Now down to £8.94 per egg - but I haven't bought anything for the girls yet - then it'll go up again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 That's good news then. Hopefully mine will get the hint soon then, with all of these chickens coming back into lay recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
