Hi all, Finally got my 1st egg today!! Yey!!
Not all fun thought.........,
Decided to give the coop a good clean out today, which ment taking every thing out and giving it a good old scrup and disinfect. so i get it all done and decide to leave the nesting boxes, pearches etc out side to dry off in the air for a wile.
Thats when it decides to rain. Oh No! so i rush out to get everything back inside the coop so thegirls are not stuck out in the rain. Thats when i descover it, in the middle of the run!! My joy is short lived,
those greedy hens of mine have half devoured it! Gutted so i take it off then, give them a sturn telling off then continue to reassemble the coop!! What a Day!!
I have heard many stories off hens eating there eggs and developing a taste for it, is this true??
I am hoping the fact that she layed outside due to the coop been empty, they thought it was food as they normally come out in a morning and thats where i feed them outside!
Hopefully now with the coop back up and running, that tomorrow i can get up and have some eggs waiting for me, that are whole and not been shared with the rest of the hens!
