Call me funny if you want, but I take a head count "12 total" every morning to make sure everybody made it through the nite. Well this morning I had to count 3 times and came up with "13" everytime. Thinking to myself that can't be right, so everybody went out in the run and I counted as they went back into the coop. Sure enough 13. I have no idea where it came from, I checked with people around me and nobody was missing any. It appears to be a red sex link or red star whatever you want to call them and I am guessing its roughly a year old. Went to collect eggs this afternoon and there was a odd looking brown egg with small brown specks on it. I guess the new hen settled in and went right to work. The only way it could have gotten in there was for somebody to open the gate to the coop. Does anybody think that I should seperate this hen from the rest of my flock or let her be??
