I know how you feel.. I don’t want Ethel to not come around me cause she is scared..She is a little younger than Lucy and should be laying soon. Both are so sweet, but I had Lucy about a year before I got Ethel.. Now Lucy has to share me and she is not happy about it! Lol

Ok, so as suggested I have been pulling Lucy’s eggs daily.. however I am concern as she has laid up to 15 eggs!
