The other morning, DH was in the coop doing morning chores when my blue Ameraucana, Nora, started pitching a fit, yelling loudly. I heard some of it on the baby monitor. Heard him say, "What's wrong, Nora?" When he came inside he told me that she was looking at a hen in the #2 nest and yelling her head off. He reached underneath the hen and pulled out a blue egg. He asked her if that was her egg and showed it to her. She started trying to pull it toward her so he placed it in the #1 empty nestbox and she went in, sat on her egg, and didn't make another sound. Silly hen must have been run off the nest after laying and wanted her egg back! Nora had serious egg issues back in June when she quit laying and went broody. She only began laying again a couple weeks ago, but I wasn't sure if it was her or Snow, her sister, who also lays a nice blue egg. Apparently, it was Nora all along and now her egg shell quality seems good at last.
