Finally a little surprise in the henhouse ....... the girls that I raised from fertilised eggs that I posted about
here and
here have laid their first eggs....albeit a bit funny looking....the colour doesn't appear to be uniform on the shell but they were fine inside..... it's the first time I have raised chicks that have laid eggs....previously in 2013 when I put eggs under the clucky mum they were both
roosters....this time I got 3 girls.... it's great.

| All the girls foraging beneath the fruit trees.................they love it. |
The six girls out foraging under the fruit trees....three old girls and three newbies.....I just love watching them peck around the garden..... they are such a natural addition to the yard and worth the effort.
Hooray!!!!! How exciting Suzie!!!! Jan x
ReplyDeleteThe shells will be come more uniform but may remain spotty some of ours are mottled. We are tricked by commercial egg produces that they are all the same colour all over.
ReplyDeletethey are looking a lot better now...just the first few looked odd.
