helenp Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi, When I got home today, I went straight into the garden to say hello to the girls. I decided to check the egg port & I found my first egg!!! I was so happy I shouted " I've got an egg" at the top of my voice. Neighbours must wonder what is going on.. Amber laid the egg as she had been flustered & clucking alot since Sunday and the lady at Cotswold Chickens said she was due to lay very soon. It's a great feeling, one that my hubby is finding a little hard to understand at the minute... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
