Space Chick Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Congratulations indie! I had my first today too! Its fab isn't it. I also have the cooking dilemma, although I am doing a gravy dinner for tea (as we didn't have Sunday lunch yesterday) so I'm thinking yorkshire pudding?

Guest Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Congratulations....I am sure we soon wont know what to do with all the eggs soon.... I will weigh it to see but it is quite small..am just glad the day has arrived! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggienator Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Poached. Before we had our hens I wasn't bothered about poached eggs with their watery whites. HOWEVER: with our girls' eggs I just put the fresh egg in gently boiling water and 3 minutes later have the most delicately flavoured beautiful egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieadams Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm so jealous!! I'd fry it - more certain of a perfect outcome when I can see exactly what's going on, there's always an element of risk in boiled or poached!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Well I turned mine into Yorkshire Pudding, and it was fabulous! (although only a small yorkshire each for OH and me!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a nice reward from the chicken...they are great pets! thanks for the responses and I am reading everyone elses posts too...

Lewis Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 You should blow it and have it as a fried egg, then you can keep the shell forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Oh wow!! That is fabulous and a double yolker too!! Congratulations to Stina's sister (does she have a name yet?) Stina has now laid 6 eggs and todays was much bigger, they've also got darker and more speckled and are so pretty, just like a freckled egg!! My coral nick laid her first today and it was so pretty! Congratulations, can't wait to see the pic!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalu Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Wow a tiny double yolker - can't wait to see pics! Omletina, can i ask how old your Coral Nick is? Flo, my Coral Nick is 20wks approx tomorrow but no eggs yet - I can't wait for one of hers, both and have been laying for a couple of weeks now and their eggs are so different, I am intrigued to see what Flo's will be like!

I got her on April 1st and she would have been 16-18 weeks then, so she's now 20-22 weeks. The waiting is the worst thing isn't it?!! I'm just as desperate for the "first egg" as I was when I got my original Omletinas!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalu Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 How funny...I got Flo on the 1st April too and she was about 16 weeks then! Hopefully that means we may have a first egg moment any day now, although she isn't crouching yet but she is becoming much more friendly and brave every day.
