The Rivetts Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Praise be An egg for me! All the things the forum says were true. At the weekend I noticed Betty had suddenly sprouted a fabulous big bright red comb and wattles. Then when I went to stroke her, she flattened as though afraid, but treadled with her legs. Today, hey presto! One lovely 60 oz egg. My only mild disappointment is that I had hoped for a darker egg from a speckledy - a bit more like a Maran egg. But oh the joy of seeing that perfect egg. Just got to wait for Mabel to get going now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
