phenna_family Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi Everyone, I came home today from work and let the girls out, went to stroke Nelly (Mrs Pepperpot) and she crouched down, does this mean she is getting ready to lay, plus she has been making some very strange noises.

The Dogmother Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 It does Claire, it means that you'll have eggs from her in about a week Great news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenna_family Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 oh wow thanks claret, we will be all on eggwatch now. Will let you all know when the big day happens. I really thought that Doris (gingernut ranger) would lay first maybe she will i don't know, she is much bigger than Nelly, Nelly has very short legs but a lovely bum I say, her feathers are gorgeous hehehehe, Doris on the other hand has much longer long legs and has a lovely bum also. Thanks again for all the helpful advice Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Yup, two of mine started lapdancing and laid 3-4 days later! Very exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phenna_family Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 (edited) its so exciting, my husband can't wait to see her, not that she has laid anything yet I think that both the girls think he is some kind of cockeral ( now I can hear lots of loud laughter here) but its true they can here him coming up the garden which is about 140ft long before they even see him, I keep saying he must have his chicken lickin aftershave on as they goes bananas when they see him does anybody elses chicken behave in this way, loved to hear other stories.

chocchick Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Ours race to the nearest bit of pen when they hear the key in the back door, and follow me along in the hope of food. The chickens crouch for OH without him even touching them sometimes. With me they sometimes don't even crouch and run off to avoid being stroked/captured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 They've got you suseed Choccy! Betty, the hussy, lapdances on Phil's shoulders whispering sweet nothings in his ear.... she won't even talk to me unless I have food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
