This morning during poop board clean up, Kylie had not left the roost. I checked her crop and it was still half full. I gave her 6 mls of mineral oil and 21 mls of water and a crop massage and into the crate she went.
During the treatment Dingbat came in with Una and proceeded to nest down into the coop floor bedding in the corner cooing away to Una tying to convince her to start a nest there.
When I went back out to give Kylie her second treatment, there was a blue egg on the coop floor near where Dingbat was cooing but Una lays white eggs. So maybe he convinced someone else?
I saw Una heading into nest box number one. Then something else caught my eye:
Chickens are literally non stop amusement.
I guess the nest boxes were full and whoever laid the blue egg on the coop floor didn't think it polite to sit on Barbara's back. Missy had no problem with it.
