7 eggs from seven hens again today. I should count the 113 gram giant one as two eggs, but in the spirit of fairness I won't.


The girls are really liking the communal nest box.

It was a double. My chickens have never laid an egg in an egg. I think it was laid by the hen all the others seem to hate. She seems stressed out a lot which might be causing egg weirdness sometimes.

Just the order of things I guess. Probably because she doesn't stand up for herself when picked on and just runs away. They sense her weakness.

Yes chickens are very much attuned to the attitude of the others. Maybe she needs a friend - a new chicken you can put her with for a couple weeks and then reintroduce to your gang.

2 today, from Juin and Août.

Looking like this week’s MVP (most valuable pullet) will be Juin, but we’ll see. Shouldn’t count my eggs before they’re laid and all that.
