Haha! Caught her in the act of laying...

I went to do an egg check today, and there was a hen the box. As soon as I saw her I knew she was in the act of passing the egg. A rare sight for me. Her tail was down and she was audibly straining. She looked up at me like, “Close the freaking door!” I thought I’d never stop laughing... It was one of those moments I could really identify with. Chickens are so great!

When I catch one in the box I get not really a "growl" but more of a groan type sound like, "UGH! Go away already. Sheesh!"

I’ve actually caught one still wet plopped right into my hand. I was reaching for the eggs under the hen (she was kicking at them) it was like WHOA! Pretty cool. Laughed and said “that’ll never happen again”

Oh lordy, I was gently pushing one of mine into the coop and she laid in my hand.

Yeah I had a moment like that tonight when putting the girls up for the night. Caught several hens in the boxes with the false eggs and both of us felt a little shocked when I opened the door. I said you guys are supposed to do this in the morning after sun up not down sent them back out of the boxes into their roosts for the night. Due to the intrusion they all clambered back in the corner nestled in or near one box (didn’t think they could fit) as if you would hide behind the nearest girl or door when someone walks in on you changing. I laughed shut the door for the night and thought well maybe they are just practicing for the real thing.
