Congrats! :D

After my first week of mini eggs, i still get excitement everyday from finding them! And even after a week there is a noticable difference in the size of the eggs already.

Now what I am waiting for is the day I go and there is MORE than one egg...perhaps even three, then I'll be even more excited!

Now the dilema do I crack it or blow it and keep it.....?????? I can't bring myself to eat it it's so small. It's half the size of a normal chicken egg at least it's very cute

also I guess this must be a sign everything is ok. It has a good solid shell and she seems happy. I doubt she would lay if she wasnt
makes me feel better.

I would blow it and keep it  ;). Bhunas 1st was the size of a normal small egg so we ate it  :D :D

Maybe lou is older than the others then she does seem much more mature full comb etc wish I could post a pic but I'm using my iPhone and for some reason the attachment option doesn't work I'll try and do it on the lap top.  :D
