First egg, second day!

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I woke up this morning and came down stairs to hear that one of our chickens had already laid! We have only had them for 2 days. The egg was slightly soft shelled and small but definitly an !egg!. The chicken who laid it hadn't quite got the hang of using the nesting box and laid it on the bars :roll: but never mind.

Congratulations Turtle!!

 

It could be that Primrose or Clover knew it wasn't a 'proper' egg and deliberately laid it on the bars. Mine always do this when laying a softie/soft egg. Maybe try putting a plastic egg/ping pong ball in the nest would encourage them to use the nest box?

 

Glad you are loving your new girls!! :D:D
