Well she finally did it! My first egg found today in the run
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!
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.

Congratulations!!!
How exciting, reminds me of being a a kid an sleeping at a friends house who had chickens, we used to be up at the crack of dawn to check for eggs and cook breakfast!! eggs are sooooooooo much better than lie ins!
Behind every sucessful man is an fantastic woman!
Not sure who first said it or exact words but so very true!!

Well done ISA - she will hopefully encourage the others to start too (you know what women are like when they get together!)
Poached is my fav - trotting down the garden on a Sunday morning in my nightie and wellies for a fresh egg....mmmmm
