The Dogmother Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Well, an egg actually. After a break of about 3 months due to moulting and poor light one of my beauties has laid an egg! I haven't even seen it yet - Phil went down to my place to shut them in the run and phones to say that there was an egg in the nest. I was only commenting at lunchtime that their combs looked redder Here's to all eight of them laying....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahJo Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Funny isn't it?. We all get soooo eggcited about 1st eggs then take it a bit fro granted, then the chooks go off-lay . THEN - we have the eggcitement all over again. . Ginger started laying again 1st, then sadly died ... now Mrs Snowy and Ebony are laying almost every day, and I still love seeing if there is an or not in the nest-box. . Great that they have started again ...... my 3 all looked very ill when they were moulting, and its fab to have fit looking hens again.

The Dogmother Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 It's almost as good as having the very first egg again. It's definitely Ruby Tuesday - she lays torpedo eggs, the old trouper What a good girl, perhaps it's the tuna and sweetcorn I gave them last weekend Rubes is my favourite hen out if all the lot, she has a sweet nature and is so pretty too.

Jools Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I never stop getting excited about collecting eggs, especially the first ones. Like the first one on coming into lay, the first one after the winter break, the first one after moulting, the first one after being broody. I love it .... just like finding potatoes and carrots in the veg garden. Miracles!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
