Classy Chick Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I know, I know, you are all seasoned egg layers but I had to share the news that Ella (who arrived on Thursday morning) has just laid her first (perfectly shaped) egg! I am soooooooooo proud of her! The only think is, I can't decide what to do with it! What did you all do with your first eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Congratulation. Boiled with toast soldiers is the only way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Congrtaulations! I hope you did the egg dance! It's soooo exciting isn't it - you have to post it on here, everyone else would think you were mad!! Fried, by the way, on a piece of fried bread!

Hen Watch Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Congratulations on the first egg. My eldest daughter had the first tiny egg (a double yolker) fried on toast. It was weeny and now the same chicken lays whopping great big eggs only 4 months later. Hope you enjoy it however you cook it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classy Chick Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Thanks for all of your suggestions! We were thinking of making a small batch of fairy cakes so we could all share in the moment! Will put a photo on asap - if I can work out how to do it!

James H Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 hoorey!!!! well done ella, I cant wait for eggs to come from my bantams!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Think you've got a long wait like me James. I've got 3 pekin bantams too so no eggs 'til spring for me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classy Chick Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Well I don't know much at all about Bantams but already looking forward to hearing about their first egg action! Funny thing is, Ella laid the egg and promptly walked off. Sam came charging in and tried to sit on it (think she was trying to POACH it...!) and keeps making trips back to the eglu. Everytime she does, I look for a deposit from her but nothing! Very odd behaviour! Have a birthday cake to make tomorrow for Tuesday but it is going to be a fairy cake if I only have Ella's egg to make it with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
