Hi all,
just to say that a little warm gift was waiting for me this morning - Alice the leghorn I think - had laid a beautiful white egg! It is sitting pride of place in the kitchen!!!
Now, it is as clean as anything, but I have two questions really... well three
1. She laid it on the roosting bars... how can I encourage her to lay in the nest box? It has Hemcore in it and should be comfy...
2. Does it need washing? There is only a little mark on it and otherwise it is pristine.
3. How do you store an egg? Is it narrow bit up or down? Or does it matter?
Have taken pictures and will make it my mission tonight to upload them - both of the girls and the egg!!
Yey!!!!
