Don't know which girl did it but there was a perfect little pale brown 47g egg on the roosting bars in the eglu .

 

I'd seen both of them nipping in and out of the eglu recently but never expected it this soon . They're about 20 weeks old and have been with me 4 weeks tomorrow .

[Space Chick]

Clever baby

[Cooks]

what a clever little lady

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Guess what ? It was a dinky 47g egg but it was a double yolker . I always thought it was huge eggs that were double yolkers .

 

[Cooks]

I am soooo jealous! I haven't had a double yolker in ages!!!

I am soooo jealous! I haven't had a double yolker in ages!!!

I've got 6 in the fridge at the moment plus 2 i used mid week

the lightest double I had was 65grams that was big red's second egg

 

they look like good sized yolks for a first egg

[Blackrocksrock]

Well done that girl - very jealous of the double yokers - not had any since they started laying at all.

[Redwing]

double whammy!

[Lewis]

Jealous much?

 

We've only ever had a few double yolkers from Matilda, hopefully we'll get a few more off this new lot

[Egluntyne]

Congratulations. Looks tasty!

[Seagazer]

Congratulations to that girl! And a double-yolker, brilliant.

[Space Chick]

Thats fabulous ANH

 

Do you know which of your girls laid it yet?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

OH saw Penny emerge from the eglu this morning and a 53g egg was on the bars so it must be her . (She's obviously not worked out the roll away nestbox yet .

 

I just can't decide whether to put them to sleep together in the eglu and put the r/a nestbox in the pet carrier . The eglu is really cramped with it in there.

 

Maisie's still picking on them so I'm worried she'll do it in the eglu too .

 

Or maybe they're not eating the eggs at all so I can let them lay in the eglu nestbox after all .

 

Sorry, ramble over .

[Space Chick]

Tricky one ANH

 

My ex batts are still choosing to sleep in the pet carrier, so I am leaving them to it at the moment, as we are still get a few squabbles, although only minor ones.

 

Good luck and yey Penny

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Cracked open her second egg today - another double yolker .

[Seagazer]

Way to go! Sorry thats a line from one of my favourite films, Officer & Gentleman

[smokiechicken1969]

ah how lovely,

 

i sooo wish i hadnt seen that photo of that gorgeous egg! its made me want some home made chips and tomato ketchup

[chickencam]

Lovely egg

 

I haven't had any double yolkers from my newbies. We had loads from the original Omlet hens and from out White Star when they were starting out, but these girls took a long time to lay and their eggs have been small and single yolked.
