Can’t believe it, Chooks only 19wks old & look what I found this morning.
In the last photo I have put a shop bought one (on right) next to my first chooky egg.
Mine is smaller but a good size for a first egg.
I am so thrilled.
Now what to have for tea: Fried, poached, scambled?

Next doors getting an egg a day from all five......so we've got eggs for tea!......hers are this years hens, I think that she had them about may or june time

Yes Pam, when thier comb & wattles get to full size & go from light pink to red.
Carrots is the only one like this at the moment so thats why I think it was her.
I gave them a tin of sweetcorn for being clever girls, Lol.
I will be over the moon if I get an egg a day from each of them :-)

You'll need a new recipe book!. but once I looked after them for a couple of days and to pick an egg thats still warm, boil it and dip in your soldiers......theres nothing like that taste......

Ha Ha, I was gonna title this blog "I'm a Grandma" but I thought you lot would think I was silly. I forgot that you are all as silly as me! Lol.
I have'nt eaten it yet, don't know what way to do it yet & I just want to look at it a little longer, Lol.

If you scramble it you could blow the egg out and keep the shell intact.

Congratulations "Grandma" . . . what excitement! (but don't keep that egg TOO long - at least you have its photo:))

Boiled with soldiers would taste good, do enjoy it Grandma Willi.
