Bird watching

Well you’re not going to believe this…. I went out to tuck the girls up last night and in doing so had a peek into their nest box only to find horrible Susie sharing her box with Molly…poor Maude looked quite put out.

It's that or I’ve got the first ever hermaphrodite chicken

Is that a variation of Tandori ?

Considering the sleeping arrangement, I would say it’s more likely to be Bombay Mix

Just a quick update on the "Birds".....as mentioned previously the house sparrows have fledged....that is a part from on which seems reluctant to leave the box....The others left a week ago.

The crows have fledged as we saw two, plus mom and dad yesterday.
The house martins which disappeared for several days are back and sitting.
The Robins are still around but we've only seen two baby's

As for the girls.....well they have all imprinted themselves on my wife.....If you could see haw they chase my wife around the garden it would have you in stitches. Molly and Maude haven't started to pay their way yet but hopefully it won't be too long before all three of us can have an egg each.

So .... at the moment the three of you are sharing the one egg, how do you work the toast out ?

[Stephen]

and do you toss a coin for the yoke.

We only have egg with soldier's every third day

and do you toss a coin for the yoke.

I knew you couldn't refrain from bringing tossing into the discussion

How old do they have to be before one can eat them ?

Well done that girl

[Onelife]

Well done that girl

Yes...didn't they do well l.... what was surprising is that they both laid on the same day.... the two eggs are no bigger than bantam eggs but should get bigger over the coming weeks

This was featured on tv this morning…. it’s a bit like watching paint dry at the moment, but she is sitting on a chick so will get more interesting over the coming weeks.

I didn't know that ... cheers OL

So, if I buy half a dozen ' Medium ' sized eggs they will become ' Large(r) ' if left for a week or two

I once had a box of eggs (6) and two of them had triple yolks
