Diamond egg gal Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Well this morning Dolly spent 25 minutes sitting in the nesting area of my . Every so often her little head would look out the eglu door to check on the others (she's number one chock). When she wondered into the run I ran out to check but no egg Perhaps I had put her off by watching her too intently from the kitchen window! So off I went to work. However when I returned at 2:30pm I saw a little brown something glistening from the middle of the run. I ran out into the garden and yes I found our first After I congratulated Dolly (I swear the neighbours think I have lost the plot) I then wondered how the hell I was going to retrieve it So after grabbing the garden rake I managed to pull the egg to the door of the run! Its not bad this chicken keeping lark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan08 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Congratulations, I still love collecting eggs even after over a year. Hopefully she will get them in the nest box soon so it will be a bit eaasier to collect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
