Sometime ago I posted about one of our hens laying a`f**t'/`cock' egg. Now I know who the culprit is. Our two year old RSL hen has never laid a normal egg (rubber/shell free sporadically), so I should have suspected her all along. I found her out yesterday, and this offering is smaller than the last.

Big Red (girl with issues) sports sharp spurs and crows with the roo every morning, but never in the evening - go figure. This is her catching some rays:
Now, I see her disappear into the coop where I can hear the roo giving out with his come hither and lay cluck/whisper (that's him enticing one of the BSL's to nest in the winter dust bath tray - he can't get his fat self into the five gal. nesting buckets - so guess where all the eggs are being laid).
When I go to rake out the coop (had already collected the other eggs) there is Big Red's offering. In the previous thread I used a ruler of sorts to show the size. This time I'm relying on Biological Scaling Assays, i.e., a pair of Ruby throated hummers.
