Egg laid on roost twice this week! Is something wrong with her?

[bawkbawkbawk]

Just found the second broken egg of the week on the roost inside the coop. I'm 99% sure it's from my Light Brahma. She seems fine - eating and behaving normally, but why is she doing this?

She did it earlier in the week, then laid in the nest, then skipped a day of laying or maybe even two, then laid in the nest, and then on the roost again today, sometime before we let them out of the coop around 7:30 a.m.

Should I be worried? Or just annoyed?

annoyed

Probably nothing to worry about. A couple of mine did that a few times when they were getting started, but it hasn't happened in a long time so I think your girl will get it figured out eventually too.

I have a PR hen that does this from time to time if someone else is in "her" nest box. No big deal, just annoying.

Whew. Good. Thanks. Consider me annoyed, then, because it was a big mess to clean up!

My "aerial layer" always seems to bullseye a big pile of poo under the roost from the night before(before I have a chance to fluff it up)! Now that's fun right there! YUCK!
