I can't eat eggs either - white or yolk. Allergic to them and had no idea til I did a blood test a couple years ago. People think it's funny that I raise chickens for eggs I can't eat. idunno.gif

Got a real one!  Small, brown with speckles, WAY back in the corner and not with the golf balls in the nesting box.  I think I need to make me something like  the golfers use to get their balls out of the drink.  I am thinking a long stick and the cap of some spray paint.

2 more today!

They seem to lay in the afternoon, is that unusual?   I left for work at 230pm and found the eggs at 1145 pm, in fact all I have gotten so far were at night or in the evening.  I dont even know who is laying them.  My home made egg retreiver stick works good though and didnt seem to spook them to bad when I reached in with it tonight after closing the pop door.
