Love these pics! Does she have a blue ear? Wow, that is so adorable! Yes, they practice quite a bit, I bet she lays first thing in the morning tomorrow,, you'll see. There is a lot of lamaze coaching that goes on.. the roosters are really hysterical to watch with that. I have to post a video of Duke doing mimicking the egg song... it is so loud, not to be believed.Okay, here's pics as requested!!
She sang a very quiet, no fanfare, egg song.
HOWEVER, a little while after taking these pictures, my silkie went into the nest and laid down for a while. My daughter and I sat out there in the run and waited to see if she was going to lay her third egg for the third day in a row. After a bit, she same to the door of the coop and sang the loudest egg song - she got the entire flock going with her, including the roosters. So, we checked the nest and NO egg. Really? Then, a few minutes later, she went in again. Two roosters took turns going in and laying face to face with her, talking to her and when she came out this time, no egg song and still no egg. Do they go through all the motions, even the egg song sometimes, but still don't lay? Hmmm.....
Here's a couple pics from that. You can see my daughter thought hearing the egg song chorus for the first time was pretty humorous...
Love the picture of your daughter too....precious!
