21 week old EE sitting in nest box

HAHA! Caught her laying again in the nest box - she's laid an egg two days in a row for me! Green and blueish. I hope it ends up more blue - but I'll take the green too They are such pretty eggs. The egg itself is getting bigger as she lays. I also noticed my WLs eggs are getting bigger now that she's been laying for about a month. There's Smokey in the middle - for some reason she prefers that box. Weird how she'll just sit there for awhile after she lays it.

They are so cute sitting in the boxes - I was worried I had a broody hen LOL!

I want one in the spring, not the winter.

I have 4 Lavender Orpingtons that will probably start laying late February or early March - can't wait to see the lines forming in front of the nest boxes. HAHA! Now I have 3 layers (out of 4 that are the right age) and only 3 nest boxes. So we'll see how it goes when I have 8 or 9 layers at the same time (who knows about those Silkies).
