DS found the first egg today laid by our bantams and is going to bed very excited .

Hows best to cook it. Fried, scrambled, poached or boiled? Any particular ceremony we need to do to mark the occasion .

Aw bless. My bantams are currently in eggs under broodies, my first egg from them will be next year.

Weigh it, then put it into an eggcup and take a photo, then cook by scrambling. Don't boil, it will be too fresh and the egg white will go all crumbly.

Congratulations btw

Seem to be having one a day :) so only one must be laying so far.

All in the nest box so thats good.

DS has decided we need to wait till got 4 so we can have one each. DH just thinks we need to use up the ones from FIL first as they are older....
