Jac and Rory Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 What a wonderful place this is - I've learned so much from reading through the entries. I got my 4 black rocks on 6 Nov and first egg today (woweee) from Marbles, now 25 weeks. She begain crouching on Tue and I found her in the next box this morning (Sun) with fluffy knickers in the air and head down in the corner. Left her a while and came back to find a lovely large egg with double yolk. Shell was a bit thin at top and bottom (didn't bear up to much pressure) but I assume that may sort itself out in time and I should be patient? They have a cup of mixed grit in their run which does get eaten. I now have such high hopes for a lovely fresh egg on Christmas morning!

Jools Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I shouldn't worry too much as it can take a few eggs before they get into the swing of things. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas with scrambled eggs for breakfast here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
