chestnutmare Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I took some photos today from inside the run. My back is in bits from crouching. Perhaps I should have waited until the Omlet netting arrived, easier maybe? Anyway, Belle's the only one not laying yet. I understand that they've 'spread out' the egg laying for me so that I don't get all of the excitement at once . But look at today's photos compared to when she arrived. Larger comb, redder? There's not even a fortnight's difference between these two photos! Then Now This means I'm going to have three eggs tomorrow, doesn't it? UPDATE:- Thanks Space Chick for replying. We were right! Snowy laid a dirty egg this morning before I got chance to leave them out. I normally manage to get there before an egg to clean out the nesting box. It was obviously urgent. I went out later and found TWO MORE eggs! Whaaaatttt???? Three eggs from three hens... all in one morning? Belle's first egg. 50g. we thought Willow was going to be an 'every other day'-er but she's laid three days in a row. Willow laid a large egg today! Willow's eggs - yesterday's (50g) and today's (70g)! What happened? From small to large. My egg skelter is looking very pretty. It's still exciting to get fresh eggs from my own hens.

Sageandonion Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Aww 3 out of 3 - very clever girlies - congratulations CNM - they look lovely on your egg skelter - I ordered one on Monday and it came yesterday - it's looking a little empty at the moment though.

chestnutmare Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks Chucky Mam and S&O. I love my egg skelter. I had it before the eglu and chickens . OH bought me it for Christmas along with a lovely egg cup set. He knew it was just a matter of time. So mine was empty for a few weeks. I hope you get excited as me over eggs and post lots of pictures when you get yours . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chestnutmare Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hee hee 3 eggs! I wonder what tomorrow will bring now that they're all laying. A day off I suppose! 'Tired and recovering', SC, is the sign of a good time! Thanks PE and Gertie. I was looking forward to Belle's brown egg. I like a nice too. I get to eat the 'first' eggs so will be tomorrow's breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
