How about some hens pretending to lay?

They are very busy hens, working very hard at being very, very still.

Here's the long skinny egg from yesterday's batch, the one on the bottom. The three above it are the usual sizes.

Oh dear, I am sorry to hear that.
Does she have family?

I can do that!

We have six layer hens: three Buff Orpingtons, two Barred Rocks, and one light Brahma. We also have a pardoned meat chicken (Henny Penny) and two turkeys (also pardoned).

Lucy, the light Brahma, is current flock leader. Her BCF (Best Chicken Friend) is Francis, one of our two Barred Rocks. She's a very posh chicken.

Truffle, one of our BOs, is my sister's favorite chicken. She has a very low, content cluck, and follows us around as we do our chores outside. She's second in command and acts as the "watch chicken."

Jenny, Barred Rock, was the former flock leader. She fell from power around the beginning of February. She's great at bossing (practices a lot) and can be a little mean to the chickens below her, but was a great flock leader until Lucy took over. Her BCF is Ginger.

Jenny's best friend, Ginger, is our fluffiest chicken. She has a very heavy step and is the most skittish, but she's warming up to spending more time with us.

Nutmeg is fourth in the pecking order. She's very curious about anything we do, and will skip breakfast to scratch in straw. She has a very anxious expression.

Francis, our little BR, is the lowest in the pecking order. The other hens don't need to rub it in, though; she is content where she is and doesn't mind it at all. She is actually becoming friends with Truffle, but her BCF is Lucy, who was her friend from the brooder. Francis had a few problems when she was a chick: she suffered from pasty, and was our weakest. She has had crooked toes since we got her, but it was too far gone to help correct the condition. But she makes the most of every day and we're so happy to have her. :)

Henny Penny isn't with the main flock at the moment, but when she returns she will probably once again assume the position of undeniable flock leader, "The Queen". (We had to quarantine her because she had a few issues that popped up, but those are gone now and she's doing great!)

Our turkeys were going to be for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, but they imprinted on us (we didn't expect that) so they were pardoned and we had pork for dinner.

Perhaps all these pictures could count as my shots for Mugshot Monday :D

I hope this wasn't too much!
