Cinnamon Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 After a run of bad luck with our new flock of Bantams,we have had our first egg today,from Sherbet the Lemon Pekin. It is so sweet, & very little, but perfectly formed Cleo is delighted, as she has been so upset at loosing Smartie last week- this has sort of made up for it a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 They are so cute aren't they - and very delicious too with massive yolks and very little white. Feb 14th is supposed to be the day that hens come back into lay after the winter break - something to do with day light hours I think. I've been down to the run pointing this out to two of mine - they are reddening up a bit but no signs of laying yet. Good job Dixie 3 didn't stop and Dixie 4 and Boeing started again a week or so ago. Hope Cleo enjoys her little treasure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura & CTB Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 That's great news Sarah and well done Sherbet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Well done to Sherbet! Although Bella is not a bantam, she does lay dinky little eggs compared to the s. Pure white, exactly 40g every time, with huge yellow yolks. Delicious - The flavour seems to be more concentrated somehow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
