Megseggs Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hello, I'm Megan and I am the proud owner of a suprise brand new eglu and two lovely hens (Anna and Brony). It was my 30th Birthday present from my boyfriend, David and I am very excited. However, my hens have had rather a scary first day with me as the winds bought down a huge tree (approx 70ft) which missed the eglu by about 3ft! No hens harmed although a few feathers ruffled. I am hoping tomorrow will be a little quieter and looking forward to getting to know Anna and Bronny better, I wonder who will lay the first egg? Hope everyone elses hens have survived the winds.
