How exciting - I have also noticed that the membrane is quite thick and strong - I hope this is a good thing.

 

Cheers

I know it's exciting isn't it to get your first eggs! I get excited everytime I go out and find an egg. I always thank the gals! Enjoy!

I'm a newbie, so I may be asking something that is common knowledge. How do you keep track of which hen is laying which egg? I want to breed and raise offspring from the best layers, but short of putting them in separate cages (mine are pastured and that thought breaks my heart) I don't have a clue. Not sure I want to put a video camera on the nesting boxes. :-) Any other suggestions?
