starboyhull Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Even though we have had loads of eggs now, I still find it very exciting every morning going out to check...... Each egg stands about £14 each......I think they are worth every penny, or should that be pound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutechicky Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Wow great! It must be amazing to find a nice fresh egg waiting for you! My chickens still have a long time until they start laying. However, when they do I will be most glad!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellyb100 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 We had three eggs today too! Well four really - I woke to find eggs from Doris and Frankie and a soft shell one which had been broken. I assumed Penny's went a bit wrong! However, this afternoon, we found a creamy speckled one from penny in the nesting box!!! It's quite odd, with some grainy raised bits on the top and a patch that is flesh coloured. The shell is perfectly hard enough though.

Milly Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Each egg stands about £14 each......I think they are worth every penny, or should that be pound I just worked out the price per egg here. £50 The electric fencing put the price up a lot, but it is a one off payment and I am sure the eggs will only cost £40 each by next week Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
