First egg off my white hen
« on: March 17, 2011, 07:44 »
Last night I had my first ever egg from my white hen... the same hen who was so badly attacked I didn't think she would make it through the night only three weeks ago.

Having said that she is 42 weeks old, so it's about time!

It is small (the same size as my sabelpoot eggs!) but perfectly formed... I may have a mini egg on toast for supper tonight!

Staffies are softer than you think.

Well, after collecting another two from the same place, I've come to the conclusion it was a poot egg after all, and therefore it's destinged for the incubator :lol:

I currently have 2 poot eggs due on the 28 March, which was a test, fertility, run, and a further 5 due on 06 Apr - so far 100% fertility  :D

One of our Josephine poots has started laying and another 3 have started to curtsy, when I saw how tiny the eggs were it made me wonder how tiny the chicks would be?
