Noodle Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 It was so cold this morning, the girls were all puffed up to keep warm and the winter cover was frozen on to run!! So when Dot went back into the Eglu as I was off to work, I thought it was because she was cold. But oh no....she went off to lay her first egg!!!! in the egg laying bit The most clever chook I know We were all so excited that it was cooked straight away with an audience of five!! and then we all had a dip. Fantastic. Good ol Dot See her egg here, Left is med shop bought egg, and right is Dots http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc210/Noodle_048/LeftmedshopeggrightDotsfirstegg2310.jpg Dots first egg beautifully cooked by hubby http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc210/Noodle_048/DotsfirsteggbeautifullyfriedbyAyo23.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joojoo Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 It's so exciting isn't it? I still get a lovely feeling inside when I go out to the nest box and find one there. AND if the egg is still warm I have to hold it against my cheek - I know that's probably a bit weird, but it feels lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicki9 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 congratulations, collecting and eating your own eggs is the best. I do the holding against the cheek thing too. In fact I usually make the whole family do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
