my two light sussex have started laying

It was so funny - there was such a commotion and rosey going on in the coop. Even the other chickens went to have a look :roll: One proudly appeared at the pophole squawking and shouting her head off announcing to the world her new achievement

Hopefully my avatar is plugged in now to show them.

Well done your hens! I'm hoping my light sussex banties are going to start soon :?

They sound so pleased with themselves don't they when they start to lay?

I'm going to boil it and have it in a sandwich with loads of watercress, yum

I am working on the pictures - have tried to get them on my mobile phone but their fast little devils and my phone's not very good. I'll borrow my OH digital camera and catch them. Watch this space

Congratulations! Lucky you. I got my chooks last Sunday, one left me a pressie on Monday and that has been it ever since :evil:

1 egg x family of 6 = 1 race to the frying pan.
