Flo Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 George called me at work yesterday, all excited to say that Mabel had dashed into the eglu and didn't re-appear for 10 mins and when he went to investigate he found that she had laid her first egg. When I got in yesterday evening she was wandering very proudly around the garden! We were so excited for her, but can't decide what to do with the little 37g egg! Just waiting for Lucy to start to lay now... Flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Trumpet sounds for Mabel! Hurray!! Isn't it great to get an egg. I never get tired of my little presents everyday, even if I do have to trudge through mud and rain to get them sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
