First egg! Not laying in nest...

Juvenile red tailed hawk was our guess based on where we live.

I love how different chickens are. My two have such personalities and Flower would totally do this She beats to her own drum.

So she laid in the coop in her nest!! I placed a bright orange golf ball sized ball (what we had around the house from the kids) in there along with one of her other eggs marked. We saw her hanging out under the bushes so I figured she was just going to lay there again and that was that. A bit later we went outside and the kids checked the bush. Nada. Then we went to go retrieve our other chicken's egg and low and behold there was a greenish blue egg in the other box! Yay for Flower. She figured it out

YAY!!!

I'm in So Cal too and the Red Hawks really scare me. I see them circling daily. I don't let the girls free range unless we're down there.
