First eggsFirst eggsJust to let everyone know!! We had our first eggs(2) yesterday and another this morning. What an AMAZING feeling when i opened up the house and WOW . My partner Louise wondered what was going on when i came charging down the garden path. Then started singing in the kitchen! (Out of tune). And i have to say how delicious it was too!
So 3 and counting!! HOW EXCITING!!!! Happy new year to everyone, Liam and Louise
Fantastic what a great way to start the new year...well done your girlies.

If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Well done, Abby produced her first one new years eve, it had a bit of blood on it and a strange frosty looking white shell (she is a ranger) but she was okay, this morning another weird looking egg that looked like a bit of shell had tried to be scraped off? What is so strange is they are huge...Alice started off with little eggs then they grew but Abby^s new ones are bigger than Alice^s recent eggs...Happy New Year to you all.. and enjoy those eggs..
Yes, it sounds as if the shell was only half formed so not enough pigment.
Here is a link to a Defra site full of interesting facts about eggs
