We have had three eggs in the last three days. We have four pullets. I've not been able to catch them laying eggs and haven't seen any kind of squatting behavior or anything to clue me in as to which of our ladies is laying. I'm not sure if one is just very prolific, or if each egg has come from a different girl. All the eggs look identical, but then so do the pullets. Are there any tell tell signs that might solve the mystery short of catching one in the act?
 
You could put egg dye on vent area, or you could separate the hens one by one and see but I wouldn't suggest that method as that might upset their "pecking order" And please remember you won't have eggs laid every day.... If you have a lot of time, you could just watch who goes in the nest box!!!
