Good luck with your hens, sounds like you'll see an egg any day!!
This might be a fun side note - My flock is a fixture in my dreams all the time! Often when I dream about my chickens, they are in wild places that I wouldn't expect them to be (like in a dusty, run-down room in my barn that never existed in real life, i just "forgot" about it till my dream) I even noticed a freaky connection between what I dream and real life. Whenever I dream of seeing a big flock of chickens that I don't actually have free ranging in my yard, I wake up in the morning to find a predator raided my flock in the night! It's become a practice now whenever I have one of those dreams to set a trap, just in case. Lately I've been dreaming about eggs popping up in random bunches, like 30 at a time, in weird places in my yard. I'll go put them in my incubator and later on that day, I get hatches. These chicks that hatch are some of the craziest breeds i've ever seen too! I get chicks of all different colors, some that look like any day-old white, red or black chick, while others have beautiful patterns. Some even have hair tufts like a mini-polish afro or 2 or 3 showy feathers sticking out the top of their heads similar to peacocks or screamers. The best ones, though looked like blue and gold macaws. They had these amazing neon cyan blueish feathers that turned to red stripes on the breast and wing bars, and some yellow on the tails. Their heads had some green and yellow on them too, just like a real macaw. These chicks hatched looking like they were 4 or 5 weeks old, in that awkward stage I like to call chicken puberty where the feathers are kind of ratty from just bursting through the sheaths. I had a vulturine guineafowl in this dream too, (Although he had very long tail and wing feathers like a phoenix chicken or the Quetzal) and I remember thinking he was responsible somehow for adding his colorful DNA to my chicken gene pool. I followed him around my yard until he dropped a feather so I could go compare the two. The feathers almost looked like the pictures of real ones I've seen online, but with a lot more neon blue in them. I woke up around this time because all the attention I was giving to my newfound guinea seemed to annoy my pair of helmeted guineas (which I do have, and were just like normal in my dream). Last thing I remember from this dream was their back-and-forth squak routine and the vulturine guinea leaving me with a couple really long, blue, polka-dotted feathers.
