Yay!
Do laid an egg this morning. She was quite noisy and normally our girls are fairly quiet, she was also in and out of the house.
I went and put some bedding in the nest box and took the wire up (they had been sleeping in there, so I was preventing them from going in so that they roost instead). She went in, had some scratching around, lots of noise and came out again.
I went and checked, nothing...Then she repeated the process.
This time though, when she was done, she stood at the pop hole shouting and shouting with her head held high! I went in and checked - NOTHING!
But then I saw she had messed up the newspaper on the tray at the bottom of the house, and there, in the corner was a little, perfect egg.
My 2 year old was over the moon. She rang daddy. "Do found an egg and left it in her house, I want to eat it!"
We haven't eaten it and she has agreed that she will have the next egg, as part of the deal with hubby building my run, was that he got the first egg.
So I have 1 lady laying, in the house not the nest box and all 3 ladies, if given chance sleeping in the nest box and not in the house. Still, we're working on it, and we are all new to this after all!
