Jules. Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Our first egg was a double yolker- when DS2 collected it from the eggport he did the egg dance up the path in the rain, & when I cracked it in the frying pan & we saw it was a double yolker we think that all the street heard us! We have a picture of it on my gallery link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocolatefudge Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 One of our girls first eggs had three yolks in it! I've never seen one before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Go Girls! There is something very special about your first eggs - double or triple yolkers are a real bonus - but, that wonderful feeling of collecting still warm eggs cant be beaten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolatefudge Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Amen to that! I still get excited even now and we had our first hens two years ago! I didn't understand it until I had my own hens, now i'm hooked!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Now you've only got 3 girls and 2 eglus and one rablu. - you could have MASSES more chooks you know. It has to be done. Its the law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolatefudge Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Yes I know, but the reason we have two hen eglus is that Pepperpot my broody didn't take to the new girls so I panicked and brought another eglu. Perhaps I'm too soft but we had over a week of getting up at 4 am because the whole street could hear Pepperpot having a go at the other two. Pepperpot lost her mate and was on her own for a month. But she seems to like it that way. My two new girls have loved having the garden to themselves since Pepperpot has been sitting on her eggs. Having said all of that I would have loads as I'm well and truly hooked! Perhaps it's an early mid-life crisis as I'm 40 next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 woooooo hoooooo, FAB news, first egg - a DOUBLE YOLKER, you must be so proud. we all totally understand I get excited every day when I get home from work, waiting to see how many eggs, what colour, what size, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 not a mid life crisis totally normal in fact. we started off with one eglu and four chooks................. and are just looking into getting some more chooks, and then some more ex batteries (I hear a cube calling............) and some more bantams.............
