SueSteve Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Well done that chicken! Did you do the egg dance? We were just on our way to dh exam, he went back in to get something, and I stood waiting in the garden, I just looked in the egg port, closed it and then it clicked that there was an egg there!! I ran into the house, I thought 'i won't shout 'cos I dont want dh to get stressed thinking that there is something worng', so I intended just to call him, what cam eout was a loud sqeak, he came running thinking something was wrong!! lol! I was so excited, my voice just went strange. I don't think I did an egg dance, but I was definately skipping and jumping!! I just couldnt believe it. It was so warm, and it is so amazing to think that it came from the chicken (ok, I know that eggs come from chickens, hence getting them) but its so strange to think that this perfect little egg came from Bella, it's amazing, they are so clever!

Martin B Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 By the sounds of it you did do the egg dance. A hop, a skip a jump and some form of excited noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Congratulations Well done Bella. I still get excited everytime I find an egg. There were two in the nest box at 9am when I got back from school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Congratulations! There's nothing quite so exciting as your first egg - except possibly your first chicken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueSteve Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Thanks everyone, So should I expect one a day now? (She hasn't performed today yet!!) Or is it a bit intermittent to start with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pearsons Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 It was hit and miss with mine to start with until they got into the swing of things so to speak. The eggs get bigger as time goes on as well. Helen in Hume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueSteve Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well Bella has not laid since, a week now! I am wondering how long it will be before she lays her second? Yesterday we had our first egg from Tilly 33g, and another today 40g! Tilly is smaller than Bella, although head hen, I am so proud of her laying her first tiny egg!
