3/3 today even with the cold...

won't be surprised if I don't have any tomorrow though, just from the stress of adding a new hen...

I think 2 today, unless 1 is in the yard. The hubby said the daughter brought in one egg, but that it was bloody and she accidently broke it & threw it away. Not sure why it would have been bloody! The hens look fine. Of the 2 roosters, 1 looks very bedraggled, sort of like it was dragged through the mud. The other rooster looks ok except that his comb is discolored, it has dark red/black patches on it. I am wondering if they decided to squabble over rank and the bedraggled one lost ( he use to be top rooster). This evening he was by himself on the lower perch while the other rooster was on the top perch with the girls. They use to all sit on the same perch.
I found the second egg when I got home this evening and turned off the light. The daughter had already shut and locked the barn up for the night.
I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Sounds like the roosters had a "reshaping" of their pecking order.

Yes, I believe that is exactly what happened! The former top rooster was hanging around outside the barn waiting rto go in. He didn't go in until I had turned off the light and the other rooster had stepped outside to crow his glory.
