Madge has just laid our very first egg we are so proud!Madge has just laid our very first egg we are so proud!Madge was no where to be seen a minute ago and she is the leader which is a bit of a surprise.
Then after 5 minutes she re appeared with a very satisfied look on her face and feeling quite proud of herself. We looked in the nesting box and there was our very first home laid egg from our girl Madge. We are so proud as I type the egg is still warm!  
Re: Madge has just laid our very first egg we are so proud!They are special good when you pick them up warm.

Re: Madge has just laid our very first egg we are so proud!Congratulations ..
 Even after 4 years I still get excited over them laying especially when they all lay an egg on the same day .but there is nothing like the first one .It might as well have been made of gold I was so pleased .Jackie x 4 lovely girls~~ Clover, the oldie and top chick Bonnie second in command .new girls Bluebell and Blossom.
2 lovely new girls 19-01-2015~~ Chelsea and Ruby. Eva , Florry , Poppy ,Annie and Rosie R.I.P The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.” - unknown Re: Madge has just laid our very first egg we are so proud!How lovely. It really is exciting when each hen lays their first egg. My Cupid laid an egg the day after we collected the chooks, and it was so tiny that I put it in an egg cup to show it off and it disappeared into the depths!
So now all you have to decide is boiled, fried, poached... Re: Madge has just laid our very first egg we are so proud! Well done, it is so eggciting

I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: Madge has just laid our very first egg we are so proud!We boiled it so we could all have a bit as she is only young it was only a little egg. But we were just so chuffed she had laid one it doesn't matter.
Although Madge seemed to realise we were very proud of her so she spent all day bringing herself and fellow hens into the kitchen to say hi! Re: Madge has just laid our very first egg we are so proud!Just picked out 2 more eggs the girls are getting the hang of this laying lark!
The excitement is just as much as yesterday still!! Re: Madge has just laid our very first egg we are so proud!
We kept the shell of our very first egg,  It really is exciting and I thank them everytime I get an egg, it never ceases to make me smile when I lift the lid and eggs are there
