fowlbird Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 indeed we did, dancing cloud! thing is, we can never remember how old they all are and they've been laying only when they feel like it since the middle of last summer so OH is convinced they'd never lay again seeing that egg was sooooooooooooo eggciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I share that egg-citement ! My Dandelion laid every day like a good thing for the first couple of months and then nothing at all for the next five months or so. I was convinced she'd taken me up on the offer of early retirement and there would never be an egg again until a fortnight ago when she suddenly produced an egg, followed by seven more since The egg dance has definitely been danced!
