Angels4 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I got my first egg from one of the girls today (weeks before I thought I would) as I haven't started feeding layers yet (still on growers) it was a softy and was destroyed but it was layed in the nesting box. Off to the stockist for some layers mash/calcium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Congratulations how old are your girls now? Shame it wasn't edible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 An early starter! Shame you didn't get to eat it. The egg I mean . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Congratulations how old are your girls now? Shame it wasn't edible. By my calculations they are just about 20 weeks, give or take a few days...Now Coco Chanel (BO) is acting all strange, in and out of the nest box and SCREAMING at the top of her lungs. She is either getting ready to lay or is very angry the egg is now missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Now Coco Chanel (BO) is acting all strange, in and out of the nest box and SCREAMING at the top of her lungs. She is either getting ready to lay or is very angry the egg is now missing. I think she's trying to lay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Lewis, please tell me this isn't something she is going to do every time she lays. I would rather NOT have any eggs from her if she is going to make this racket..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 I got my second egg yesterday. Although it was only 40grams it was perfect in every way. The girls never cease to amaze me as I wasn't expecting any eggs until sometime in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saracook31 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Congrats! Our younger girls are all very noisy layers, the ex bats don't usually make a sound and are quick to give the young girls a "shut up" peck when they're showing off too much!
