I watched my EE hen Hawk lay a double yolker today, looked quite painful and she stood still as if frozen for a good 15 minutes after it was laid!​

I feel "lucky" to have been out there when her time came... It was pretty neat.. I was suprised she just jumped right down and went back out side when she was done..
no egg song maybe next time. They are all squatting now.

Isn't it fun? My girls started laying last week, and I am ridiculously excited!
