Day 172.

Bush eggs: three! Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: half full. Jubilant young hens: one.

Oh happy, happy day! Paula has finally laid her first egg. She is looking very proud and a little sore and is taking each of us down on an accompanied visit to her own little nest that she’s chosen. And there it is, a lovely egg; a little on the small side and not quite symmetrical but that’s to be expected.

Brian is as pleased as a peacock and is showering Paula with affection and ignoring the Boys for once.

Jack was very interested in Paula’s first egg too. Hmmm, I might have to have ‘the talk’ with Paula if Brian hasn’t already.

The fencer guy made good progress today. He really is a hard worker and quite interesting to watch.
