I AM PUTTING THIS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY I WANT TO SHOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET THE GIRLS OUT OF THE PEN THIS MORNING AS USUAL. WENT OUTSIDE TO BRING ROSEY IN AS USUAL AND SHE WAS IN THE NEST BOX. OF COURSE AT FIRST I THOUGHT OH LORD. ok i will quit shouting now

then i thought i am going to try to believe if she lays an egg it will come out right. so i went and looked at her and close the door to the coop so she could be alone. came in and talked to the Lord. went back out to check and she was coming out of the coop bright eyed and busy tailed!!!!!!!! went and looked in the nest and there it was her first normal egg!!! i tell you i could have floated on air. i just began to thank the Lord because its all in His hands. now i am wondering if i could leave her out like normal. i plan to call the vet and see. i just wanted to share this with my chicken buds

oh yeah heres the egg https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/87967_rosey_egg_and_fish_004.jpg and this is rosey yesterday on her way through the house to go outside isnt she georgeous!!!! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/87967_rosey_egg_and_fish_001.jpg

I'm glad rosey is doing so well and can lay eggs as normal. Go rosey! Look at her expression in the pic it's like she's saying "I've done so well and I've layed an egg as a gift to you."​

I read the whole story a few days ago. I am all weepy right now seeing the pictures of Rosey and her egg. Good for you for not giving up on her and seeing her through.

She's a celebrity on BYC!! Congrats.

Yay! Wonderful update!

You might want to blow that egg out and save the shell, it's one very expensive egg. I hope she safely has many more.

I never wanted to mention it before, but orpingtons aren't so sensitive to daylight hours affecting their laying as most other breeds are. Mine lay almost as well in winter as in summer.

GO ROSIE!
