Our first egg!!!

Tuesday 16th of June and one week since we got the chooks, and we are the proud recipients of the FIRST EGG! very exciting - did you notice, I resisted the pun? I have been checking the nesting box daily, and nothing! Started to expect nothing, so even better, it was such a suprise, to see a small, but perfectly formed egg.

Lizzie had her friend Rachel to visit - they were happily watching Twilight (again) when I dashed into the house and insisted they both came to admire the lovely specimin in situ. They looked as though I was a complete nutter, as I took a photo and went to tell the girls

how good they ere, and said thank you. Well, I thought I should. It seemed only polite?

Then, I while I was clearing up the destruction and devestation they had managed to achieve in the garden today, Charlie made a bid for the chicken cube, or chook caravan of love! Squatters rights he claimed, even having a little go in the nesting box? The girls registered their disgust by treating him to a view of their three bottoms, in a neat little row. He left in the end, satisfied that he had at least had a nosey around and safe in the knowledge that this was just an initial reccie and if only he could work out how to move his radiator bed and beanbag in, it would be his!

I rang my father to tell him the egg news, thanks Dad, for pointing out that so far, this single egg has cost over £600!!! Well, it was a very tasty egg!

Goodnight x
