Foxy Loxy Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Today, I have had my chickens for 1 week. I let them trot around the garden today. Took the eglu apart and gave it a good scrub. I've never enjoyed cleaning something so much! Anyway, I put it all back together and put it on a new patch of grass. As soon as it was all together, the hens dived into the run and two of them went into the eglu. Half an hour later, I was intrigued and went to look in the eglu and there it was, my first egg.

Foxy Loxy Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 I was made up. I love letting them out. They have found a particular spot for a dust bath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Well done.It's funny, Trinny laid her first egg in about a month after being ill when I reassembled the eglu after cleaning. She was on the nest before I'd even put the top on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
