    So little Mavis has laid an egg :T

    Afraid not Tilly. The Miss M that laid was Marjorie. Mavis will have to be known as Miss LRH on here to avoid confusion - I'm expecting her to lay her first first egg in 2-4 weeks :D

    Only if that fits in with Tilly's schedule which is currently being drawn up. Woe betide LRH if she doesn't comply. she may end up with the ex-lodger :eek:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Or her slow cooker :eek:

    I won't tell Miss LRH. She's stressed enough as it is after being chased all day by the nasty, pecky big girls :(

    Definitely no room for Miss LRH in SC, 6.5 litre and full to the top with beef casserole :rotfl:

    Poor LRH with the naughty picky girls. You'll have to build an extension so she can have her own en suite room :)

    Have a good week girls (that's the hens)

    I would like to formally (virtually) adopt Gladys and Beryl please:D

    Can you also send me a certificate of adoption, as this should minimise future red tape/legislation regarding ownership of eggs.

    Also, can you please let the girls know that I love them very much already X

    But that won't be either Beryl or Gladys, as they're good girls:A

    I meant to add, can I also have colour, size and shape updates, as well as regular photographs and progress reports. I think if you proportion 12 hours of your day to this small request, this should provide sufficient update time. Starting from now.
