Laura & CTB Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Came home from work and there's an egg in the nest box Both girls have been crouching for the past couple of days so I've been hoping for some eggs soon but didn't think it would be this soon!!! I think it must be Prada's egg as she has the biggest, reddest comb but both girls got to play with a corn on the cob in the garden as a treat. I'm soooooooo happy fried egg and chips tonight!

The Dogmother Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Brilliant news Laura - did you do the egg dance? It's mandatory you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 If you mean the wild leg swinging arms flinging jig up and down the decking complete with mad grin and the occasionally tee hee heeeee sounds then yes - all done!!

The Dogmother Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Good girls - can't let the side down now can you? We all did a conga round the garden shouting 'we've got an egg'. I'm sure all the neighbours though that we were mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Well done girls Nothing like the taste of your own chickens eggs PS Can't wait to do the chicken dance again, still no more eggs from our two, lots of feathers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Clever girl!!! Can we borrow her. We're only getting one egg every other day the minute as Starlet's the only one's laying! Plus Henrietta thinks she to posh to lay eggs now she's all pretty and it's got dark!!! Muddles is moulting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner.girl Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 How big was it Laura? Daisys first one was medium, but Snowdrops was tiny - she made up for it with her second though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 I thought it was about medium size but when I went to put it into my egg holder it fell straight through the hole!! but it was an only just so we'll see what happens next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 Sorry to bore everyone but just had to give Gucci a mention - she laid her first egg today - tiny but perfect. She obviously felt the need to keep up with Prada!! Bless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura & CTB Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 Thanks Emma - it's a very humbling experience after waiting for 2 months to see my girls at last doing what chickens do!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Talking about doing what chickens do - i saw, for the first time, one of my rescue girls having a dust bath today - wonderful!!! Its such a good feeling when you find an egg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 Sure is - and aren't dust baths such a laugh. I have a sand bath for mine and they both squish into it and chuck sand over each other - it's such fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
