well one of my younger girls started laying yesterday. I knew she would be ready to start laying in December but I figured that due to not as much sunlight in the day she would wait until spring. The egg she laid today is SO beautiful. The egg is real small the picture just makes it look big

well my RIR, Ponderosa, i had never SEEN her lay an egg yet. I had seen everyone else but not her. so today I sat for hours with my video camera. guess what I got!

We have 6 people in our family and every sunday we have a big breakfast with all the eggs scrambled from the week. so every week we start over collecting eggs. I have a big 36 count egg carton. I have wrote on the carton each chickens name. Each chicken gets her own row. I put each chicken's...

I have spent so much time sitting outside the coop watching the nest box. it has paid off. I have seen all my egg layers lay an egg. Kinda fun to see them lay an egg. I know exactly who lays what now.

Answers: 1. yes. a chicken will set on any ones egg... even a fake egg.I have a chicken that will sit on anything. LOL 2. She may not feel the need to sit on eggs or in the box except for when she is laying an egg. I have chickens that plop their egg out and leave... they only go in the nest...

I love the food coloring idea! My younger ones are not acting like they are laying. well I only have 2 younger ones and 1 is a rooster and the other is just too small still doesn't even have her wottles or comb yet.

OK well... that solves that... the one I thought was laying eggs... is a rooster... LOL so HE for sure is not laying eggs. LOL so it looks like I have a chicken that is laying 2 eggs in a 24 hours span constantly...

Ok so the hen I have seen in the nest the most is the RIR ... BUT that girl will set on any egg. I put a fake wooden egg in there randomly today... no one near the nest at the time. I come back a few min later and she was sitting on the wooden egg. I removed the wooden egg so she wont go...

well I was looking at my eggs I have got since I started getting multiple eggs a day and I still don't think it is a new layer. I know who lays what and I only have 3 types of eggs. I have noticed my rhode island red in the nest a lot.... maybe she is laying more eggs than normal? here are 2...
