How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Blondie is fine today, after eating that small frog yesterday.
I was dragging some branches that I trimmed last evening while my girls were free ranging.
I noticed a frog hopping in the grass and my girls were near by I called for them and Blondie got there first I pointed out that frog and she quickly caught it. She pecked at it and the other girls showed up. So it was keep away for a few minutes. When she was clear she pecked it several times to make sure it was dead. Then she swallowed it.
No ill effects at 9 a.m. this morning.
Got 4 good eggs this morning and 1 soft shell, broken in nest box. GC
 
We had our first 2 egg day yesterday.....:celebrate. Fairly certain Myrtle, speckled Sussex 20 weeks tomorrow, is our newest layer.

Funny story, though, night before I came home to a very excited FIL & DH who informed me "we got THREE eggs today!" This was especially puzzling to me because I had gathered the egg from Doris (to that point our only layer who started almost two weeks ago) while I was home at lunch time and there sent 4 birds in the flock looking near laying:confused: well it all made sense when I walked into the kitchen and saw my three dummy eggs in the basket :lau FIL was so excited i didn't have the heart to say anything, but later I told dh and his response was "well, they did feel a little light" :th
