Woot! I have moved my girls into a tractor because I have way too many boys. So I built a tractor with covered sides for the girls to live in. It has shelter/shade and is easy to move around daily for fresh grash and bugs. They've been thrilled with their new home and get all excited about moving over to a new patch of grass. I don't move them until the afternoon, when I have more time so I didn't notice the egg this morning and I almost didn't notice it this afternoon! It wasn't until I was changing out their 'puddle pan.' In addtion to their drinking water, I have a small galvanized pan filled with water for the girls to play in when they're in their tractor. I took out the puddle pan to clean it, turned to close the lid to the tractor and WHOA!!! there it was right next to where the pan was!! sitting in the middle, with the girls waddling around it. I had to glance twice! An EGG! An EGG! OMGosh! It's an EGG!!
Sadly no one was home to share my excitement! and no one was answering their phone either!! But I have an egg! Can't wait to see if they'll lay again tomorrow or not.
One question though, it's smaller than I expected. It's only about the size of a large chicken egg. Is that because it's the first? or will they always be that size?
