Actually, I found EIGHT today.
I KNEW I'd heard the "I laid an egg!" sounds from at least one hen, but I could never find any eggs. So today, when I was outside, I heard, "buh-KAWWWK!" and went immediately to the henhouse. There, in the far corner, waaaaaay back out of sight and UNDERNEATH the nesting boxes, I saw a couple of eggs. I had to get down on my hands and knees (in chicken-litter, yes. whee.) and reach under to gather them, and here's what I wound up with:
My daughter begged, beseeched and cajoled me into adding one of the little eggs to the Buff Orpington eggs from hinkjc that I just set last night, so we marked it with a crayon and stuck it in there.
Since I don't have any idea how old they are, I cracked the rest to feed to the dogs. And bonus--they're fertile! Skee-Lo is gettin' the job done.
