It all comes to them who wait...

Well a nice surprise today - 1 got 2 Cream Legbars last March and they laid until June and then stopped. They have always looked very healthy but not a single egg have they laid between them - until this afternoon!

Went to collect the eggs and sat in the nest box is a lovely bright blue egg!

I had threatened to have them killed many times but of course did not have the heart to do it myself. As they have been eating organic pellets for the last 6 months this single egg has probably cost me about £50!

The big egg in the top left is a 90gm from one of my Blue Belles - they have been the star layers this winter - big eggs every day.
