Perfectspace Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I was stunned when we found our first egg this weekend. I had just assumed our 2 LSB's would wait til Spring! And it's SO cold!! I think it was probably Chicken Bhuna that did the deed. Now I'm strongly suspecting that she's a Light Sussex Utility.... hopefully - another 50+ eggs a year! She certainly looks different to Chicken Tikka. I had even resorted to keeping them on a Growers/Layers mix, and was waiting to go fully Layers after Christmas! Anyway, typically my daughter couldn't resist picking the egg up, and as we walked back in from the garden she dropped it on the kitchen floor! Doh! I worked and waited six months for that egg! However, more joy this morning as we got our second! Slightly smaller, but just as satisfying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectspace Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Funnily enough - now I think back I also found a couple of those in the nest last week, which tells me one of them was trying the nest out for size. So - it might be a good sign...!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Gas Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Sari - my daughter is dyspraxic too. How old is yours? Mine will be 24 in June, she is surprising to say the least. Sorry off topic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
