Egg Party Question

Since Millie's original flock was eaten by predators (3 other pullets and a roo), she has laid eggs quietly. She is now with the Delawares. She still lays eggs quietly (not counting growling at the delawares). I am wondering if she will go back to having the daily egg party once she accepts these chickens as part of her flock. They do sleep together on the garage door, but the Delawares are 15' away from her, so not exactly sleeping next to her.

Your thoughts on this are appreciated.

 

Does anyone think that she is not announcing her egg because she is the only one laying an egg? I have noticed that if she thinks that one of the Delawares (particularly one of the roos) may see her egg, she will run back over and sit back on there for a while. Not to be broody, but to hide the egg.

I really hope that once the Delaware ladies start laying that they will have the "I laid an egg party" again.

I thought the egg party was fun. They were so proud of themselves.
