Alis girls Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Ok no big deal to you seasoned chuck keepers but I was attending to the girls today when I glanced at Jez who was sitting in the nest box - up she stood and pop out came an egg. It was lovely and warm - OH was very impressed it was lovely and warm. So they do stand up to lay. Very exciting - big kid I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaKiw1 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I've never seen one actually be laid so I am very envious! We have found two in the nest box together and wondered how they both managed to get their eggs to be inside though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 As I said - it wasnt till recently I found they stood up - lovely to see - nature is so impressive isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I've seen a few eggs being laid, did you pick it up straight away? The pigment is still wet so sometimes you can leave fingerprints or wipe the colour off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yup picked it up straight away - i didn't find pigment washed off - but just held it in my hand - awe struck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
