Gotta Tell Someone!!!! SHE DID IT!!!!!

Sorry, I am silly excited, but I was working outside and heard one of my 17 week old this Thursday Delaware girls practicing the egg song!!!! Loud and clear! I need to figure out which one it was and rename her Brunhilde- it was LOUD!!!

Very eggciting! The first time I heard it- i thought what is up w/ them??? Then it dawned- and did my own lil song of of yippee.

That's wonderful! Have they started to squat??

Side note, where in WNC are you? I'm right outside of Asheville!

Thank you, all of you! Laney, I will post a first egg picture when I actually get one over on the Delaware thread- it may take a few days yet, though, maybe? I am not experienced anough to know.

NeelysAVLchicks- outside of Asheville, too - in Canton. You are not very far from me at all!

I came in to add to this- CORA IS SCRATCHING AROUND IN A NEST BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Several of my 8 girls have been squatting for over a week, and about two days ago, Cora's comb started getting red and a little bigger-

This is way sooner than I thought it would happen!!!!!

Yay!!!!! You think the egg song is loud, just wait until they all join in!!!! But some are more loud than others.

I look forward to seeing your first egg.

I'm still waiting on that welsummer egg. My girls are 19 weeks old now. No squatting yet.

Gloria Jean- Franklin is just a hop, skip and a jump away! I have one blue Orp roo that I just adore - right now I have 7 roos total, and it's already loud if they all let loose- I can imagine what adding 8 hens will do- guess it's time to move some roos out!
