karena Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Update - I think it was Ava looking at the colours they are meant to lay. I am still holding it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karena Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 I'm afraid it's true Kate, I did only get them yesterday. I was expecting to wait weeks too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours are pure breeds, who take longer to come into lay, hybrids are specified for egg production! Well done those chooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Em laid her first egg today! Ava was sitting for aaages laying hers, and poor Em was rushing up and down, clucking, going in to see Ava and clucking at her, then rushing up and down, clucking and bum twitching. Then once Ava has finished (I had a quiet word as I think she was just comfy) she rushed in, and a bit later there was a little brown egg! So we're now on Ava 2, Em 1 and Millie, plenty of sitting on the nest and pretending but low on the production We had fried egg on bread for lunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
