Scooby Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) I'm soooo excited. Our little japanese pekin Florence has laid her first egg today It was so tiny we didn't even see it this morning and it wasn't until this afternoon when I happened to look into the egg port I spotted it nestled away in the shredded paper. (Hope the neighbours weren't looking as I danced around the garden shouting "1st egg, 1st egg"). Teeny but perfect. Very tasty too!

Scooby Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 Thanks everyone. I don't feel quite as silly now for doing the egg dance! Surprised though as thought we wouldn't get any eggs at all until spring. Was led to believe that thoroughbreds do not lay through winter??

Budgies Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Yay, first eggs are just soooo fantastic! Well done Florence and congratulations Scooby! Pure breds definitely lay far fewer eggs in the winter than hybrids but each breed has its own tendencies and egg laying abilities, and then of course each chicken is a law unto itself anyway!! I love good news! Sue x PS First egg dances are mandatory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
