The lady who left my present was my ISA she is the eldest by a week and was giving my signs that she was ready for about a week or so.

This is her at the front being followed by her mates.

Trust me, you'll never get tired of fresh eggs! :lol:

We've had our girls almost two years and it still makes me smile when I check the nest box and we've got a present.
