sydbass Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 My gorgeous clever girl laid us her first egg yesterday - only a week after she arrived. I can see from other posts etc that this chicken keeping lark is sooo addictive but I cannot believe how excited I was. It felt like the toothe fairy had been all over again - MAGICAL. My neighbours heard me telling her what a clever girl she was so at least I'm keeping tem amused too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henergy Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Great stuff - the first is always the most exciting. Our first was a double yolker too - never been repeated - a real fluke but so wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydbass Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Well - my OH bought me an egg poacher in anticiption, so we poached it. We and the two children shared it (sad I know but it had to be done!) so we only got a tiny morsal, but she laid another this morning so it looks like were in production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
