My pekin hen, Splash, layed her first egg this morning! Strangely she laid it in their old house we used for them when they were ducklings. They haven't used it in a long time. In fact, it's not weatherproof anymore and it rained all night, but she still lay it in there on the hard floor with all the soaking wet hay pushed away.
So here are my questions: she's not laying on it and I want to take it. Will she continue to lay in the same place? Should I replace it with a dummy egg? If so, what do I use? How quickly does it need to be refrigerated? How often will she lay now, every day?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just so excited...
