Congratulations

How you gonna cook it? ..........after you've had the chance to keep looking at it for a few days of course

[Falkor]

Well done Dory!!

 

Maybe the older girls had a chat with her and explained what she needed to do

[Cooks]

I dont know how to eat it, I will have to have a family discussion

 

I think she was really 'taken' with the cube nestbox, she loved it!

 

I have 3 eggs now, they have all laid except Flo.... They probably did tell her what was what..

[Egluntyne]

How lovely,. Congratulations.

well done Dory laying your first egg

[Seagazer]

Well done Dory It just makes it all the more exciting to see what colour egg Flo will eventually lay!!

I know.. and she's crouching... well it's a semi crouch.. not a completely flat one like the others. I tried taking a photo of her cheeks today and thought wow that was a close shot and it's just not clear, but they are definately yelowy green so I think green.

 

I am so proud of my clever Dory though, to wake up in a strange cube and run and then lay her egg needs a good egg award, Omlet!!! she needs a medal!

[Redwing]

Congratulations! I love the egg, its very rounded like my Bluebelle's eggs

[Cooks]

It's funny Tasha but I was reading the thread about bluebelles eggs and they say they are rounded I am a happy chook mummy!

 

I dont even know how she knew to lay in the nest box though, becuase the others laid after her!

[Chickvic]

Congratulations!

[Cooks]

there were two softies in the poop trays this morning!!! so I am guessing thats Dory as the others do not lay or sleep there. Plus Sugar has just laid as normal and Cocoa normally follows.

 

edited to add, I think one might have been Flo
