FOUR eggs in THREE days from three girls....

[kaybats]

then 2 more yesterday...and today.....today there was 3, one from everybody

Everyone has been laying in the nesting boxes, but this morning I found one out on the coop floor! The way my nesting boxes are built, it would be impossible for it to have rolled out.

Could that horrendous thunderstorm at around 3 this morning had scared it out of her before she had time to get to the box?!?

The four pictured below are the 3 from today, and one from yesterday.....

I am SOOOOOO proud of my girls!!!
I

my chickens!!!

I know sometimes I find one right outside of the box..usually cracked.
I think sometimes the other girls push them out of their way.
But they could also get tired of waiting and just do it outside the box.

Hmmmmm. That IS interesting and good to know.
But I built 8 boxes, way before I even got the 10 BO's and 5 WR (foresight? maybe. OCD? most likely!

)

Anyway, since they started laying last wednesday, I have been finding the eggs in 3 different boxes.

I was kinda half kidding about the thunderstorm wisecrack LOL.

Oh well, I guess I'll just chalk it up to one of those "chicken mysteries" that we as humans probably wouldn't understand anyway!
