How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Damn goofy hen…it’s been quite a few days since I saw an egg from my smaller Banty hen, Goldie. Tonight I was trying to light the grill and hear chirping from the porch. I thought she was somehow under the porch and I had no idea how to get her back, as it’s closed off with the crosshatch vinyl stuff. But I took a second glance, and she was down in the Christmas tree stand that the boy child keeps “forgetting” to put out in the building. Got her out and found five eggs! Wish I’d thought to take a pic before she got out of there. And ..:never mind about a pic…damn phone didn’t get one after all, even though I clearly took one…it’s just colored swirls.

Today 17, would have 18 but I had an ooooops incident. The chooks enjoyed the spilled goods 😉
 
6 eggs today, which would normally be my whole flock, but Juin laid none and Août laid twice.

Rather than a soft shelled egg, she just laid two shelled eggs that had clearly been touching while they were formed.

My husband fessed up to leaving the human door to the coop open in the morning a couple days ago, and apparently Août didn’t feel safe to lay in such exposed conditions. She must have just held onto the egg. Then the next egg came a couple days later (today) and pushed it out. But at least that’s over now! So grateful she’s back to normal :)
