UGH!
I went to close up my chicken coop tonight and say goodnight to my girls as usual, except my 2 kids came out with me.
As I was tidying things up inside, I glanced at the nest boxes to do a quick visual count of the golf balls, I came up with 7 instead of 6.
My daughter was so excited! So was I, actually. My pullets were born in April, so I wasn't expecting them to lay for another month at least.
We guessed it to be her hen Zoey, a Barred Rock, since she has been sitting down in the shavings the last 2 days.
She asked me to make her a special breakfast with her hen's egg.
I went to call my husband and he started laughing. He set me up. He placed one of our eggs in there and went so far as to smear some poop on it.
UGH! EVIL!
My daughter was very sad.
Now I am not at all mad that I bought 2 new Blue/Splash Marans pullets today and did not tell him. I called him and told him I was going to stop and get chickens. He said, "Okay, see you tonight, save me some". He thought I meant KFC. I did not correct him.
Nope, don't feel bad about it at all now.
