My first hens!

[MaureenHall]

Second day, second egg
Saving it until tomorrow, had a duck egg for brekky instead.

Christ she made a hell of a racket after laying it! Is that to tell you it's there, to warn you off or what? Hope the neighbours don't get upset!

No, it's not to warn you off, she's saying "I've just laid my egg, do you want to see my egg? My egg's in the nest! Did you know my egg's in the nest? Bet she can't lay an egg like me! Oy, he's taken my egg!!!!"

I know this cuz I'm fluent in chook Ask Snadger, he'll tell you

Thats great news. I bought my first 3 hens about a year ago. On the first night they had to be put into the coop but after that they go ino the coop like clockwork on sunset. They are great fun to watch.
