Ittle Rosie now for 4 weeks and she has not laid a egg before. My daughter arrived yesterday and he girls were running about in the garden.my daughter went outside and had a cigarrette and stubbed it out .went to stub it out but Rosie was there in a flash.went running around the garden with the butt in her beak,all the other girls chasing her to have a drag . We are not sure way happened to it but my daughter was concerned .i said "not to worry I assure se will be fine...she has had her first fag maybe she has joined the big girls S ad will lay ...Yes you have guessed it this morning a 50 gram egg.
