Nature Chick Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Hi there Daisy started laying a week ago We were gardening last night and little Lily looked a bit under the weather and then started straining - as soon as the words "I wonder if she is coming into lay" had left my mouth a little egg popped out and rolled into the veg patch!! Lily then perked up and hurried off to join the others! When I picked the egg up I noticed it didn't have a shell. I know that first eggs can be 'abnormal' so I wasn't too worried, but this morning we went out and there was another one in the nest box Could she have had a couple of eggs backed up? They are on layers pellets and have plenty of grit - will this settle down? Thanks s x Edited September 20, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 As she is a newbie I wouldn't worry too much, it should settle down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nature Chick Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Lily was very agitated yesterday (and noisy!), their house was dismantled for cleaning and I wondered if she was looking for somewhere to lay her egg, so I quickly cleaned out the house and made a lovely nest for her, popped her in and closed the door. 15 minutes later out she came and in the nest was a perfect egg - her first with a shell!
