2/3 Except 1 broke.

Don't you hate when that happens?

Yep, I think one of the chicks knocked it over.

None yet today but one of my hens is acting she needs to but keeps not laying it. lol I have 6 hens and only 1 is laying so far. I keep praying someone else will join her but she is on neurotic chicken, she squawk and squawks but she paces and paces. Moves from nesting box to nesting box. The other girls are just quietly hanging out in the run for them most part. Tempted to put a privacy screen in front of the boxes.

Excuse me, but I just have to ask; why do you use the possessive form of the word, "egg", instead of the plural? You know, like 1 egg (singular), 2 eggs (plural), the egg's color (possessive). You do it consistently, so I knew it was intentional, rather than accidental. Plus, putting in the apostrophe is a nuisance, so you wouldn't do it if you didn't mean to.

Enquiring minds just HAFTA know!

PS. Oh, yeah. I'm getting 3/8 pretty regularly, lately, so am wondering if the girls are getting ready to molt. It's getting to be that time of year.

3 out of 11. So ready for molting to be done.

I got 3 today which kind of boggles me since I only have 1 hen that's currently laying eggs

Oh. Well, that would explain it. Just a helpful hint, save yourself some aggrevation and time by dropping the apostrophe. It's not necessary when you're only indicating "more than one".

As a side note, you have my admiration for being able to live in that heat! What are the winters like?
