tortilla Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I am waiting patiently (not really) for our first egg and I keep looking for the signs. I have read on the forum about eggy poos but don't know what they are supposed to look like. can anyone help? I have also bought some sprouts and corn on the cob for the girls but don't know whether I should cook them first or give them to them raw. Sorry for all the questions but loads to learn.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi Tortilla, welcome to the forum . Not sure I've heard of eggy poos . A more reliable sign is the combs/wattles getting bigger and redder and also crouching. Once they crouch an egg shouldn't be more than a few days away . You can give sprouts and corn on the cob raw. You could cook them but there's no need! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortilla Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Thank you for that. I won't cook if it's not necessary (I have trouble doing that for the family lol). I'm afraid I'm getting really impatient for the eggs, I just cannot wait!!! One of them is crouching and I really have no idea how big or red is normal for their combs/wattles. One or two look slightly larger and redder than the others but are they ready yet??? I guess I'm going to have to learn patience after all!
