6 today! 1 when I went in to clean/let them out at 8am, 3 more at 11am, 1 more at 12:30 and the last one at 2pm -- was very cute, the last one was Harriet (a non-crested Cream Legbar) and she is one of my regular escapees. I always was worried about them laying in the hedge, but today at 2, she was at the gate, singing her egg song, wanting to get back in to the house. I was there, so I let her through -- they can easily just jump up to the fence and fly down (that's how those rascals escape!) and she laid a BIG ol double yolk egg that left a little blood smatter lol poor thing.
But now I know its HER whose laying that gorgeous blue egg!
