Egg at night

[davidjkcho]

I found an egg on the floor with very thin broken shell this morning. Luckily, chickens did not eat it.
I thought some girl did it in the morning but all four girls showed signs of laying eggs.
After checking the video, I found Hawk laid the egg from the roosting bar at 1am and dropped it to the floor.
She went into the nesting box again around 10am and came out without anything. She started to lay eggs only 3 weeks ago.
My hens are full of surprises so far.

She can't see to get to the nest box in the dark and can't hold it until light. You can get a set of (2) mr.beam battery operated, dusk to dawn photo operated, low light stair light for $9.99 off amazon. They last three months of 2 aa/aaa. No more eggs broken on poop board i guarantee. mr.beam battery operated' dusk to dawn
