[QUOTE="alisonb, post: 1412584, member: 13050"] Heard the chickens making a racket here this morning, thinking it may be a mongoose I'd seen the day before that was after chicks I hurried along to investigate. When the chickens saw me they quietened down, all except one. Olive was in an old oven cackling her butt off, frantically trying to make a nest. Olive is a pullet that had yet to lay an egg...until today. I approached the old oven and on seeing me she swivelled around and came to meet me. Her eyes were just about popping out :help: :lol: [img]http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab9/alisonbbucket/olive1_zps5d2fucf6.jpg[/img] I picked her up and together we inspected her nest. We decided it needed grass so off I went to collect, then with her in attendance, placed it in a pile in the oven. She was in a great hurry and immediately got to work. She then settled down and started picking pieces of grass and tossing them on her back. I left her there and about 5 minutes later the racket irrupted again...Olive had laid her first egg, much ado about a small little white egg :P [img]http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab9/alisonbbucket/olive3_zpst6o42ao6.jpg[/img] See the olive green legs ;-) [img]http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab9/alisonbbucket/olive%202_zps3elbldc5.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
