had the hens nearly 2 weeks now, and was beginning to think they weren't going to lay, but yesterday we had 2 eggs.
I wanted to put a pic on here but I don't know how, can anybody help me out with this?

thank you!!! I thought maybe I was being a bit daft, I must admit, I couldn't understand why everyone got so excited about that first egg, but now... I understand perfectly, but is it a one of experience:?: will I be as chuffed with the next ones (that is supposing I get some more!)
