kirbyhouse Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 We have our FIRST EGG!! What a rush! A half-hearted look into the eglu and a startled double take as you see that first small, yet beautifully formed first egg! I wish Dad could have seen it - perhaps he has been watching over them all the time? Hey Dad! You'd have loved these. Miss you so much xx A very merry Christmas to all you chicken nuts and God bless you all. Sal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgies Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Aw, congratulations - there's nothing quite like the feeling of that first egg - and no matter how long you've waited, there's always a little shock - OOOH an eggggg! Yipee! Well done that chook! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Brilliant news - congratulations! Now you get to go through the 'rushing out to the eglu every time one of the chooks goes inside to see if she's laid another yet' phase. Great isn't it!!

ubereglu Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I know the feeling about be excited once the hens have laid eggs. Except at the minute they're few and far between! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
