Luvachicken Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Gemma is the last of my babies to almost start laying. I went to give them their supper tonight and as I threw the corn my hand went over Gemma and she crouched Yay, I can't wait to start collecting 6 eggs Mind you, most days I only seem to get 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancing cloud Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Myrtle crouched for a couple of weeks before producing a lovely tiny eggy , but Marguerite never did crouch and still doesn't. Lays nice though Fingers crossed Gemma will be adding to your omelettes very soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimi5 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Ah how lovely More yummy eggs and another egg dance It should be about a week from crouching to laying, so be on the look out!! I'm getting 3-4 eggs most days and I'm not sure if my last little one Tilly has started too! Had a bit of a hick-up here with intros. Babies Polly and Tilly got on fine with Mr Morris (so sweet they all cuddle up at night in the classic) but when I tried moving on with mixing big girls in the cube and classic group FR only, Tilly got stressed and before you know it she and Polly has symptoms of Myco So the 3 are on Baytril and I'm throwing away any eggs from the classic nestbox Watching big girls like a hawk Just hope it all turns out ok and everyone recovers and I'll be back to intro joys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimi5 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 mimi I hope your babies are ok fingers crossed for you mimi Thanks ladies Been feeling really blue as I had been going slow with the intros and with the classic had no urgency to get them all together. It seems even when I try to do things right they go pear shaped anyway Chicken keeping is not as easy as I imagined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
