5 yes you heard it right

Well our little ladies have been off to a good start we are almost at half a dozen eggs stage.

They are definately being laid by lola and jordan.  Lola today at 1045 went into the nesting box from the garden to lay her egg.  At 1115 she came out, and there in the box was our 5th egg this week.  30 minues to lay an egg.
  

This is Lolas egg, minutes after it was laid. It was lovely and warm.
Th is is Emilys favourite food. Eggy bread.   The version on the right is made from eggs bought at a supermarket.  the version on the left is our eggs from lola.  There is a big difference in colour.  Our egg yokes are very orange.


This is Emily eating her favourite eggy bread.  The red is ketchup she likes that too.

Our first Egg


Well here it is the first egg. 
 
It is true .  One of our lovely hens has laid her first egg.  Robert went to lock them away onight, and checked the nesting box, and there the egg was.  We do not know which hen.  It is perfect.  no cracks, and alovely yellow colour inside.  Im made up they knew what our home made nesting box was for, and that i didnt have to show them.

The egg was cracked open, fo us all to look at, and immediately fried to go on bread, and you know what, it tasted extra good, nowing it came from one of my hens.

well done little chicks.
