And the winner is...Helper106!

Egg was laid is nest box 11 on 9/6/2013. Nobody guessed the correct nest and date, but Helper106 was the only one to guess nest box 11 and was only one day off! The "close, but no cigar" award goes to rabeen for missing on the nest, but nailing the date.

The egg was discovered this evening by my DW. She opened the run to let the girls out for the evening and only 13 exited. Upon further inspection, she discovered Bessie, one of our Plymouth Rocks, in nest box 11. She went inside to grab the camera. When she returned, Bessie had joined the rest of the flock, but left behind a gift. There was a fake ceramic egg in the box, but she had rolled it into the upper left corner in the picture.

Thanks to all that participated. PM and TSC gift card is on the way to Helper106.
