Belle - then and now pics - due to lay? *Update* First egg!

Recommended Posts

I took some photos today from inside the !goyellow! run. My back is in bits from crouching. Perhaps I should have waited until the Omlet netting arrived, easier maybe? :lol: 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!

This means I'm going to have three eggs tomorrow, doesn't it? :lol:

 

 

UPDATE:-

Thanks Space Chick for replying. We were right! :dance:

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. :roll: It was obviously urgent.

I went out later and found TWO MORE eggs! Whaaaatttt???? Three eggs from three hens... all in one morning? :dance::dance:

 

Belle's first egg. :mrgreen: 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! DSC00682.jpg

 

Willow's eggs - yesterday's (50g) and today's (70g)! What happened? :lol: From small to large. :shock:

My egg skelter is looking very pretty.

It's still exciting to get fresh eggs from my own hens. :D

Hee hee 3 eggs! :dance: I wonder what tomorrow will bring now that they're all laying. A day off I suppose! :lol: '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 !eggbrown! too. :D I get to eat the 'first' eggs so !eggbrown! will be tomorrow's breakfast. :D
