Granny's gone and done it again

Had to go out and lure Crazy Ginger back inside the chicken yard. She ate a few seeds, then went back to squawking, and I fully expected her to fly up on the shed again, so waited a bit, ready to get the hose out. Fortunately, she finally remembered to go in the coop to lay. Haven't head any screaming since, so she must still be working on it.

This is my second Welsummer, and they both scream like crazy prior to laying. It is VERY LOUD. I thought it was just the older one being "special" but now I think it might be a breed thing. Anyone else have noisy Wellies? Grace will scream literally for HOURS some days, usually because someone is on her favorite nest, but some days it's because no one is in her favorite nest. Louder than any rooster, that's for sure. I might have to go with Marans for my dark eggs. Lola was a nice hen and quiet. I miss Lola.

Still waiting on Spike to lay. Going to ask Colonel Sanders to have a talk with her!

Ginger just gave the all clear, so I'm going to get her egg before the stupid jay do. Back in a flash!
 
She’s been in the nest box since at least 9am. It’s now noon. No egg and she’s flat and goes flatter when you touch her. She laid an egg yesterday...
