Finally our first egg! Way to go Lunch! Both Lunch and Dinner have been showing signs of getting ready to lay for about a week now. Very red comb, squatting, being more vocal than usual, and checking out the nesting boxes. Lunch has really been spending lots of time in the boxes, moving shavings around and scratching. We put golf balls in the boxes to give them an idea what they are used for. Peter let them out yesterday morning and a pinkish brown egg was waiting for him! It was still warm! Can't get fresher than that. He fried it up last night. Yummy. Dinner should be next. Breakfast is such a large and slow growing breed. She may be a few more weeks.
