Rhodie/Ostrich Cross?

[bluemoon]

One of our Rhodies laid her first egg today and it weighs 93 grams!!!!!!!!!!!
I assume her cycle is out of sync and it will turn out to be a double yolker? I've obviously got to show it to absolutely everybody before I break it to find out.

Sooooooooo - where's the piccy Bluemoon???

[bluemoon]

I don't do digital, Glutton, I'm a bit of a luddite. . Even if I did I'm too much of a techno-idiot to know how to get it on here. My friend took photos of Coco and Elvis weeks ago and I'm still waiting for her to help me post them. I'll see if she can take one of the huge egg next to the first Gold-Top egg (22 grams) they're like David and Goliath.

You're not alone bluemoon. I can't post piccies either. With help of DS I have now got them stored on computer but the next step defeats me.
My older ex-batts layed woppers last year but have now retired themselves. Never had a double yolker though and the new girls lay 60/70 grammes so uinlikely to get one from them. Might get one from Rose, the Welsummer but as she's only 3 weeks old I've a long wait!

Do have a go at loading piccies.............once you've done it it's like riding a bike, you'll never forget how to do it again.
The main thing to remember is you need a programme that diminishes the size of your piccies down to a few kilobytes, but there's plenty of free ones kicking about. Then you just load them as an attachment!

...and if you won't take a man's word for it...ditto what Snadge says!
Get someone to work you through it & it's actually quite easy...I really am a total computer nitwit & I can do it!...and we really need to see that egg!

[Glutton4...]

Yup - wot they said - Seeeeemples!

[winstonwobble]

Ignore that bit (for now!) because if the picture is too big the program will tell you.
