Recommended Posts

Blimey that's good going :D

 

Yeah, that's what I thought mullethunter :D

 

4 out of 6 is not bad at all.

I might even have 5 out of 6 but they haven't all laid on the same day - Polly has been very interested in the nest box but I don't know if she has actually laid yet.

And such a deep dark yellow yolk too - can't get that in the shops.

Congratulations :clap::dance: I've found my little pekins are very good layers.............till they go broody :roll:

 

Enjoy your eggs :D

 

Please don't mention that word :wink:

 

I am making the most of my eggs.

I got another 4 yesterday and 3 today so we are doing well.

I think I have 5 definitely laying, sadly not Lucie - she has never been that productive.

 

It's funny because Chloe - lavender pekin - has a very small comb and it's quite orange, not red at all, so I didn't think she was ready but she surprised me the other day with her first egg.

And Polly too, again not very red, also produced an egg in the last couple of days, with a pretty white shell.

 

I'm very proud of my girls and gave them an apple to show them how much I love them :D

Luvachicken do you have a photo of Chloe? Sounds like that's the same as Shelley so maybe she isn't a lost cause :lol:

 

I guess you mean a photo with her small comb and orange colour ?

I can take one tomorrow if it's not too rainy and then get OH to help me put it on :oops:

That's as long as she doesn't grow overnight and then look the same as Zoe :lol:

This is Zoe.

And this is Chloe.

 

Zoe has a much bigger comb than Chloe and Zoe's is often a lot redder than hers too.

I hope they stay that way as that is how I can tell them apart - even from a distance if they face the right way :lol:

 

Hope this helps you mullethunter - sorry for the delay - I needed a helper :oops:
