Beauty-Box Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hooray , I've finally worked out how to put an avatar on to my profile. Also today we had a whopper of an egg laid. We checked at about 10am this morning for eggs, but there weren't any. Then we saw Lily and Rusty go in the eglu at about 10.30. A few minutes later Rusty came out and then a few minutes after that Lily came out. We looked in the eglu and there were two eggs. One is really HUGE . I don't know who laid it, maybe I should have seen who's eyes were watering. Love from Rebecca and the girls.x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxhen Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Well done on both counts - great avatar, and the eggs! We had a second egg today - still no wiser about who laid it! Whoever did laid it before it got light this morning - an early bird it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauty-Box Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Thanks Helen, Congratulations on your eggs. My chickens have laid eggs at all funny hours . The other day we got one with a soft shell, what a shock when I picked it up . Enjoy the eggs, ours have been delicious, Love from Rebecca and the girls.x.

Beauty-Box Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 I feel sorry for the chicken who laid it . It fills my hand, it's that big. No wonder we only got small ones today, Love Rebecca and the girls.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Good grief Helen what are you doing to those chooks!! Surely if they are laying eggs THAT big they shouldnt be able to fly up to the gate postst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxhen Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Eh? Beauty Box's chook laid the 110g egg Mel not our hens.. Miss Spekledy's (we think the layer) eggs have reached 62g mark now. Her Christmas Day morning egg (60g) was given to my nephew Alec for his Boxing Day 'dippy egg' breakfast. Aged five, he thoroughly enjoyed it I was told today. As for Miss Spekledy (soon to be called Steve (McQueen)) we are now on Chicken run Mark IV (that is how we have spent a large part of today ) and we will be interested to see if she manages a successful escape bid in the morning.... PS I have put a pic of our Cape Town chooks in my album in the Gallery.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Sorry Blame the MIL She's driving me nuts The Cape Town Chook is living happily in our lounge at the moment Good luck with Steve McQueen do do do, do do dooo, do do doo, do dah dah dah dah (oops, that's Raiders of the Lost Ark, but you get the drift!)

maxhen Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I should think it was!!! Our recently started layer (Miss Spekledy/Steve McQueen/ 'you're terrible' Muriel) laid her biggest egg today at 66g. I was looking at it today and thinking just how big your 110g egg must have been! I came across what I think must be your photo album in the gallery- and they are only very little hens too. Bless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
