Well I said to Palmer07 that I hadn't had many eggs from Flo recently but was thinking of checking the bushes as I had seen her in there... well..... off I went this morning and there were 6 of her eggs in their own little leafy nest!!! little rat bag that she is!!! So I am going to give them to the girls for a treat later (as they sank in water), I dont know how long they had actually been there and I wont risk them myself but the girls can have scrambled egg later.

So how do I stop her??? sometimes she lays in the nestbox other times she doesn't... she's a bit thick..

[fluffyknickers]

hold on...isnt sinking in water mean they are fresh!

 

If not then I have been eating rotten eggs since I got my girls!

[Cooks]

yes they are fresh when sinking... I wouldn't give bad eggs to the girls thats all, but as they have been out there for.. ????? I dont know how long, I wouldn't want to eat them myself sinking or not.

sorry for the cunfusion.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

What a little minx . Not sure how you stop that . Pot eggs in the nestbox, perhaps?

[Space Chick]

Oh Dear Cooks.

 

The lengths that some girls will go to for scrambled eggs

[Cooks]

only trouble with the pot eggs in the nestbox is that Cocoa is semi broody and given the chance to sit on a pot egg she would relish..

 

little trouble makers thats what they are.. good job I love them..

One of mine made a nest in the bushes and the other one laid in it - then she went under the hosta bush and what a noise she made but has not laid - I dread to think when the vegetation dies down how many we will find under things!! as she is not laying ( I hope) or she is laying away again.

[Cooks]

well at least I am not the only one who has to get shrubbery all over them collecting eggs.. :lol:

 

6 eggs!!!! no wonder!!! I did wonder why she wasn't laying...but well she was.. she just forgot to tell me where she'd laid them..

[Redwing]

Aww bless she probably was planning to sit on them and hatch them

 

Better have THAT talk with her I think

[Cooks]

she gets ideas like that she'll find herself with a wet bottom!! cheeky minx

[mostin]

Awwwwwwww bless her. First she lays the wrong colour, and then she hides them from you .

 

She does try your patience that one doesn't she .

[Cooks]

yes she does indeed! Good job I love her!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

First she lays the wrong colour, and then she hides them from you .

 

She obviously knew you'd be cross .

[Cooks]

ahhhh I was cross for all of about a split second really, how can you be anything but happy with them??

[Cooks]

just been out and checked and theres another egg there today..... I despair at her! :lol: the madam!

[Space Chick]

Bad Flo

[mostin]

I hope you told her how expensive her house was .

[Cooks]

she doesnt care in the slightest, shes top chook now since us losing Sugar and well, the power has gone to her head.. :lol: daft numpty chook.
