jesschicken24 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Just had a chat with my fellow chicken keepers (my boyfriend and his mum) about what we will do when our hens start laying. I'm going to have mine soft boiled and my boyfriend if going to use his for baking. So now I thought I'd be nosey and ask what did you do with your first (edible) egg? Or, what will you do when your chickens lay their first egg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Fried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 We fried it too as it was the easiest way to share it with OH and DS Also it gave lots of opportunity to admire the beauty of it while it was frying Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I scrambled my first egg and shared it with my sister who was over from Greece. Only a tiny portion but very delicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMARCH Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 We blew ours and kept them in egg cups on the dresser. They are so tiny and cute and one had lovely different layers on. We have now had quite a few so when our chicks grow will probably just eat them! Unless one of the olive eggers turns out to be a pullet then I will probably blow that one and keep it to see how the colour changes.

Purplemaniacs Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Dropped it! Oh no I am cross if I crack or break the odd one but to drop your first egg you must have been so upset. I hope you have had lots of lovely eggs since to make up for it. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesschicken24 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Dropped it! Oh dear! Knowing how clumsy I am, I'll probably do the same thing, most likely out of excitement. While doing my little egg dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireabella Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yes, I was gutted I remember thinking how lovely, small and shiny it was and while holding it I rubbed my thumb over it and that was it! It sort of popped straight out of my hand I couldn't possibly repeat what I said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
