Chunky_Monkey Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Bella laid her first egg today! She was acting strangely all morning and was really noisy (not that she isn't normally...) and kept on going in and out of the nest box. Finally at about 12, she laid her first ever egg! Compared to a normal egg (we just bought more eggs from Tescos yesterday, thinking that the hens weren't going to lay for ages ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenW Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Yay! We got our first 2 eggs yesterday, and I've been telling everyone today Ours were little too, they weighed 35g and 38g. Clever chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimKeeper Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Had our three hens Bella, Dusty and Penny yesterday 16/7/09 at about 9.30 in the morning and the first egg was laid 3 hours later by Dusty. Good girl. Our Family Dusty Penny Bella Edited July 17, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Wow, that's a result! (Welcome to the forum, by the way). Some of us waited weeks for our first eggs! Don't worry Chunky Monkey, those eggs will get bigger now that she's in the swing of things, that's just a sort of trial size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
