angeluk69 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I am so pleased!!! Thought I'd go and have a cuppa with the girls while dinner cooks, and noticed 3 werent in the run but in the house, so thought while they were having a quiet moment I would check the nest box and there it was...our first weighing 53g! Ive only had the girls since Wednesday, but Ben at MMF said that Hilda looked like she would be the first to lay and I am over the moon, its perfect! My daughter holding the egg... Yay!!!!!

LolaLayla Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Wow that's a big egg! First of many I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeluk69 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Its smaller/slimmer than a supermarket egg, I'm quite pleased as it's Hilda's very first egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Brilliant, first eggs are so special. It is a good size for a first egg, they are often much smaller and gradually get big. How are you going to eat the egg? Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeluk69 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 I had it fried on a slice of toast! And it was a double yolker! It was GORGEOUS!!! I have had to promise the next one to the OH or the kids. Didn't get an egg yesterday, but wasn't really eggs-specting one (sorry I had to do it lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angeluk69 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Another hen has laid her first egg today, a lovely weighing in at 37g, she was so proud when she lifted herself, so i made sure she got an extra thank you and no doubt she will get some extra mealworms at tea time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
