fluffyknickers Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Just wondered if anyone else got them around the same time as us. Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I got mine on 11th Feb they are doing really well. We moved their cube to a better space in the garden and they can't wait till we open the outer door. I like to make sure they are all in the run by about 5.15 and then tuck them up a bit later when they have climbed the ladder. Hope yours are doing well too.

flowerangelk8x Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 hi, at risk of boasting we got our omlet chickens on the 26th feb and our laid her first perfect egg today! it was very exciting hope you don't have to wait to much longer i'm sure its just luck of the draw, she does seem to be bigger than the other chicken. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 I am not at ALL!!!! Seriously though great news - pleased for you. My is the biggest and has the pinkest and biggest comb and wattle - not crouching or anything though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Yes I do have a lilac eglu and x2 and x1. The same as you I think, how spooky. Evie layed her first egg the very next day after delivery on 12th Feb. It weighed 45g but yesterday she layed the biggest one yet 75g. The other 2 are still a bit young and haven't got their wattles and stuff yet so no eggs yet from them. They love it in the garden though and love sunbathing and resting the most- 'cos they're still babies I guess. I forgot to say that Evie seems to lay her egg nearer lunch time rather than first thing- perhaps like me she is not a morning person/chicken.

fluffyknickers Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 laa laaal laaaa I cant hear you (fingers in ears!). Only kidding! Thats funny we have the same apart from my cube is purple and yours is lilac. I know I am terribly impatient but SO want an egg - even more so when I hear you both have them. Both my two are also young as they are smaller than the and their wattles and combs are MUCH smaller and lighter pink. In fact one of my has such a tiny comb its embarassing! I check the nest at all times of day "just in case"!!! Perhaps they are feeling the pressure and dont work well under it! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 You made me laugh saying you check on them every so often No privacy eh, I roughly know when there might be an egg because Evie disappears for ages but she doesn't give any other tell tale signs. Sometimes she is gone for ages and ages. I wonder how long it actually takes and if its painful like labour. Imagine doing that every day By the way, I chose a lilac cube so it would look like a giant flower in my garden, I only wish I had a giant garden too.

fluffyknickers Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 NO NEWS This morning I had SUCH a vivid dream that I went to the nest area to pooh pick (!!!) and realised there were eggs there and as i dug around I found loads of eggs in all different shapes and sizes. It was SO real and vivid when i woke up, for a second, I though it was real. i went out to let them out and looked i the nest and no eggs. I am getting really peed off about it and fed up. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
