This morning we got our first egg!!!
Unfortunately, alan (when removing the nest box lid) dropped a pebble (which blocks up a pea sized draught hole) on top of it and cracked it :evil:
Next thing i know, he comes running through the kitchen door like a whirlwind, the broken egg cupped in his hand and plonked it into a bowl.
After picking out a couple of bits of hay and dirt :roll: i scrambled it for him, and he thoroughly enjoyed it!
Who do you reckon laid it though :?
Our other chooks who got got by the fox came from the same breeder as chooky. Their eggs were always a dark beige/mid brown colour and smoth.
This egg was the same colour, but with white spots all over it :?
Chooky is 24 weeks old, and mabel and gertrude are almost 20 weeks old. So i'm assuming it was chooky, but the colour makes me wonder :?
Anyway... roll on more eggs! Wooooo
